267 F. 184 | 8th Cir. | 1920
This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa enjoining proceedings iti a state court of Oklahoma.
The W. E. Stewart I,and Company, having sued Arthur in the court below upon two checks and a promissory note, afterwards brought an action against him upon the same instruments in the Oklahoma court, where it attached property as fraudulently conveyed and had a receiver appointed. It started to take testimony in aid of its Oklahoma action, whereupon at Arthur’s instance the court below enjoined it from taking his deposition and from “in any manner proceeding” in that case, so as to interfere in any way with his right to have a trial of the Iowa action “according to the usual and ordinary procedure for the trial of, such cases.”
The order is reversed.
