Date Filed Document Text
September 20, 2021 Filing 5 Filed order (MICHAEL DALY HAWKINS, PAUL J. WATFORD and KENNETH K. LEE) A review of the record demonstrates that this court currently lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the order challenged in the appeal dismissing the complaint with leave to amend is not final or appealable. See WMX Techs.,Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133, 1136 (9th Cir. 1997) (en banc) ([W]hen a district court expressly grants leave to amend, it is plain that the order is not final. Something more is both anticipated and required. In that event, a further step must be taken to fix an unequivocal terminal date for appealability, and to avoid the hazards of confusion or misunderstanding as to the time for appeal. A final judgment must be obtained before the case becomes appealable.) (internal citation omitted). Although appellant stated in his notice of appeal that he is refusing to file another amended [sic] complaint[,] he did not file a separate notice in the district court of his intent to stand on the complaint, and has not obtained a final order or judgment from the district court. See Lopez v. City of Needles, 95 F.3d 20, 22 (9th Cir. 1996) (district court must be advised in writing of decision not to file an amended complaint so that final judgment can be entered); Proud v. United States, 704 F.2d 1099, 1100 (9th Cir.1983) (per curiam). However, we find it in the interest of judicial efficiency to stay proceedings in this appeal and remand the case to the district court for the limited purpose of allowing that court to consider appellants statement in the notice of appeal that he does not intend to file an amended complaint and enter an order or judgment as the district court deems appropriate. If the district court enters a final judgment, this appeal will proceed. See Hall v. N. Am. Van Lines, Inc., 476 F.3d 683, 686 (9th Cir. 2007) (deeming a premature appeal from a dismissal with leave to amend to have been taken from the final judgment where the district court entered judgment after the plaintiff declined to amend). Appellant shall file a notice in this court within 14 days after the district court enters an order or judgment on remand. The Clerk will send a copy of this order to the district judge.
