November 21, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ORDER FILED. (Barry G. SILVERMAN, Richard C. TALLMAN, Patrick J. BUMATAY) This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the October 25, 2025 order challenged in the notice of appeal is not final or immediately appealable. See 28 U.S.C. 1291; Religious Tech. Ctr. v. Scott, 869 F.2d 1306 (9th Cir. 1989) (denial of temporary restraining order is appealable only if the denial is tantamount to the denial of a preliminary injunction). 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. [Entered: 11/21/2025 01:40 PM]
