p. 575Nos. 360 to 496, inclusive. American Insurance Co. and others v. Lucas, Superintendent of the Insurance Department of Missouri, et al. October 13, 1941.
Messrs. Wm. Marshall Bullitt, E. R. Morrison, and D. A. Murphy for appellants. Messrs. Roy McKittrick, Attorney General of Missouri, James H. Linton, and Charles L. Henson for Ray B. Lucas, Superintendent of Insurance, appellee.
The decrees here sought to be reviewed modify consent decrees for the distribution of funds theretofore impounded by the District Court and direct a different distribution of these funds. They are not decrees “granting or denying” an injunction. Therefore direct appeals to this Court do not lie. § 266 of the Judicial Code, as amended, 28 U. S. C. § 380 . See Public Service Comm’n v. Brashear Lines, 306 U. S. 204 , 207, and Phillips v. United States, 312 U. S. 246 , 248-251. The appeals are dismissed.
Mr. Justice Murphy and Mr. Justice Jackson took no part in this decision.
