DeLuca v. Mountain States Financial Resources Corp.  DeLuca v. Mountain States Financial Resources Corp. 1992 OK 30 827 P.2d 171 563 OBJ 681 Case Number: 79005 Decided: 03/02/1992 Supreme Court of Oklahoma SAMUEL J. DeLUCA, APPELLANT, v. MOUNTAIN STATES FINANCIAL RESOURCES CORP., APPELLEE. ORDER ¶1 This appeal is dismissed as premature. The order of the district court, which dismisses appellant's counterclaim, but leaves the parties in court on appellee's claims against the appellant, is not a final appealable order. 12 O.S. 1991 Supp. § 1006 [91-1006]. The Bar Committee Comments to 12 O.S. 1990 Supp. § 1006 [90-1006] state that if a counterclaim relates to the same transaction or occurrence as plaintiff's claims, then the district court does not have the power to enter a final appealable order, when it resolves only a part of the claims between the parties. This dismissal shall not prejudice the right of the appellant to bring a subsequent appeal in accordance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure in Civil Cases, after a final order is entered. ¶2 OPALA, C.J., HODGES, V.C.J., and LAVENDER, HARGRAVE and KAUGER, JJ., concur.
