    This document summarizes a court case where a Colombian shipping company petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel a district court judge to decline jurisdiction in an admiralty case brought by a Colombian seaman against a Colombian vessel and its owner. The appeals court dismissed the petition for writ of mandamus since the district court judge had not entered a final order accepting or declining jurisdiction, but rather postponed the decision pending further fact discovery.

    Dismissed.
