Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit October 9, 1980, 79-1332 (James D. Cole v. Mary Franklin Carter Cole, Dale Padgett, J. H. Padgett)

MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff’s suit was terminated in the district court partly by a grant of summary judgment, partly by a ruling that plaintiff had failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted, and partly by a ruling that some of plaintiff’s claims fell within the domestic-relations exception to federal diversity jurisdiction. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

I.
