Filing 3
ORDER FILED. In addition to all other issues the parties wish to raise in their briefs, the parties must address whether this court has jurisdiction over this appeal as to appellant City of Sparks. See, e.g., Horton by Horton v. City of Santa Maria, 915 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2019) ([M]unicipalities sued under 1983, unlike individuals, are not entitled to immunity, qualified or otherwise, and so, unlike individuals, can never be immune from trial. The denial of summary judgment to a municipal defendant on a Monell claim is therefore no different from the denial of any ordinary motion for summary judgment, and so is not immediately appealable.). The existing briefing schedule remains in effect. [Entered: 02/13/2026 10:48 AM]
