Ct. 702" date_filed="1965-01-25" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Kristovich v. Shu Tong Ng">85 S.Ct. 702, 13 L.Ed.2d 610, we agree that the order appealed from is not a final appealable order and that the appeal must be dismissed.
However, in the interest of efficient judicial administration, we believe it is appropriate to add that we have carefully considered the pleadings and the order entered dismissing the petition and agree with the trial court in that federal jurisdiction is not present in the case.
The appeal is dismissed and the case is remanded for the entering of a final judgment and such other action as the trial court shall deem appropriate.
