Interstate Power Co. v. Kansas City Power & Light Co.
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
LOKEN, Circuit Judge.
In this case, we address whether a final judgment should have been entered dismissing fewer than all of the claims and parties’in complex environmental litigation. The district court determined under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) that there was no just reason to delay entering final judgment on its order dismissing the third-party contribution claim of Kansas City Power and Light Company (“KCPL”) against Bob McKiness Excavating & Grading, Inc. (“McKiness”). KCPL then appealed. We conclude that the Rule 54(b) determination was an abuse of discretion and dismiss the appeal.
