September 4, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER FILED. (Sidney R. THOMAS, Barry G. SILVERMAN, Mark J. BENNETT) A district courts dismissal order is not final or immediately appealable under 28 U.S.C. 1291 unless it disposes of all claims as to all parties or unless judgment is entered in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the July 7, 2025 order granted leave to amend some claims. This appeal is therefore dismissed. See 9th Cir. R. 3-6(b) (if court determines it lacks jurisdiction, court may dismiss appeal without notice or further proceedings). All pending motions are denied as moot. DISMISSED.
