March 19, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 22 ORDER FILED. (John B. OWENS, Eric D. MILLER, Patrick J. BUMATAY) [A] plaintiff, who has been given leave to amend, may not file a notice of appeal simply because he does not choose to file an amended complaint. A further district court determination must be obtained. WMX Techs., Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133, 1136 (9th Cir. 1997); see also 28 U.S.C. 1291. This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the October 15, 2025 and December 18, 2025 orders granted leave to amend. 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). Appellant has not filed an appeal from the final judgment entered in the district court on March 17, 2026. All pending motions are denied as moot. DISMISSED. [Entered: 03/19/2026 04:02 PM]
