## Opinion text

FINNEGAN, Circuit Judge.
My grave doubts concerning the appealability of the district court’s order, brought here for review, impel me to disagree with the majority. 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . I would accordingly sustain Pierce’s motion to dismiss this appeal, pointing out that this deponent’s problem arose in an ancillary proceeding encompassed by Rule 30(d), Fed.Rules Civ.Proc., 28 U.S.C.A. See also Fed.Rules Civ.Proc., Rule 32(d), 28 U.S.C.A.
