ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' "Motion for Waiver of Appeal Filing Fees."

However, as Plaintiffs have appealed a final decision of the Court dismissing this case with

prejudice, the Court no longer has jurisdiction over this case. See 28 U.S.C. §1291 (allowing

appeals from final decisions); Green Tree Fin'l Corp.-Alabama v. Randolph, 531 U.S. 79,

86 (2000)(a "final decision" is one "that ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing

more for the court to do but execute the judgment.")(internal quotes and citations omitted);

Estate of Conners by Meredith v. O'Connor, 6 F.3d 656, 658 (9th Cir. 1993)("As a general

rule, [t]he filing of a notice of appeal is an event of jurisdictional significance--it confers

jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the district court of its control over those

aspects of the case involved in the appeal . . ."); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4).
