Date Filed Document Text
February 18, 2026 Filing 27 MANDATE ISSUED Barry G. SILVERMAN, Richard A. PAEZ, Holly A. THOMAS. The judgment of this Court, entered 1/27/2026, takes effect this date. [Entered: 02/18/2026 10:06 AM]
January 27, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER FILED. (Barry G. SILVERMAN, Richard A. PAEZ, Holly A. THOMAS) This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the December 16, 2025 order challenged in the notice of appeal is not a final or immediately appealable post-judgment order. See 28 U.S.C. 1291. 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. No further filings will be entertained in this case. DISMISSED. [Entered: 01/27/2026 12:06 PM]
