Date Filed Document Text
March 25, 2026 Filing 17 MANDATE ISSUED Barry G. SILVERMAN, Milan D. SMITH, Jr., Jacqueline H. NGUYEN. The judgment of this Court, entered 3/3/2026, takes effect this date. [Entered: 03/25/2026 08:40 AM]
March 3, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER FILED. (Barry G. SILVERMAN, Milan D. SMITH, Jr., Jacqueline H. NGUYEN) The court has received the responses to the December 23, 2025 order. The court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, because an order denying a motion for default judgment is not a final appealable order, see Bird v. Reese, 875 F.2d 256 (9th Cir. 1989) (order), and because the district court has not finally resolved the claims against the unserved defendants, see Disabled Rts. Action Comm. v. Las Vegas Events, Inc., 375 F.3d 861, 87172 (9th Cir. 2004) (Even where a complaint has been dismissed as to all the served defendants finality is lacking where no final judgment is entered and it is clear from the course of proceedings that further adjudication is contemplated.). DISMISSED. [Entered: 03/03/2026 01:25 PM]

December 23, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER FILED. A district courts order is not 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). Romoland Sch. Dist. v. Inland Empire Energy Ctr., LLC, 548 F.3d 738, 747 (9th Cir. 2008) (citing Chacon v. Babcock, 640 F.2d 221, 222 (9th Cir. 1981)); see also 28 U.S.C. 1291; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). This court may therefore lack jurisdiction over this appeal. Within 21 days, appellant must either file a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal or file a statement explaining why it should not be dismissed. If appellant does not do so, the court will dismiss the appeal. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. If appellant files a statement, appellees may file responses within 10 days. Briefing is stayed.
