United States Seventh Circuit

Court lacks jurisdiction over the district court's refusal to certify the question of whether a wife has a cause of action against a casino that refuses to bar her husband, a compulsive gambler, from gambling. Refusal to certify a question to a state supreme court is not, in and of itself, an appealable order.
