Clark v. Baka
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided February 2, 2010No. 09-1989PublishedCited by 51 opinions
1Per curiam
This is an appeal from an order of the district court granting summary judgment to defendant Quorum Health Resources, LLC. 2 Although the summary judgment order did not dispose of the claims against several other defendants, the district court certified the case for interlocutory appeal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) by entering final judgment on the claims against Quorum. For the following reasons, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion by entering final judgment under Rule 54(b) and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
