1Opinion of the Court
CYNTHIA HOLCOMB HALL, Circuit Judge:
This court has had an enduring relationship with this case, although we never have considered the merits of plaintiff-appellant Gary Bryant’s contention that the district court below erred by entering summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee Ford Motor Corporation. Instead, we have concluded — on two occasions — that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to enter judgment due to the presence of doe defendants. See Bryant v. Ford Motor Co., 794 F.2d 450 (9th Cir.1986); Bryant v. Ford Motor Co., 844 F.2d 602 (9th Cir.1987) (en banc)…
