ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION TO FILE

CONSOLIDATED APPEAL

(Docket No. 167)

Plaintiffs have asked the Court for an extension of time to file so that they may file a

“consolidated” appeal. Having reviewed Plaintiffs’ brief and accompanying submissions, the

request is hereby DENIED.

The request for an extension is not warranted because the Court has not adjudicated all of the

claims against all of the parties in the case, and hence there is no final appealable judgment. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) (“[A]ny order or other decision . . . that adjudicates fewer than all the claims or

the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties does not end the action as to any of the claims

or parties and may be revised at any time before the entry of a judgment adjudicating all the claims

and all the parties’ rights and liabilities.”). See also 19-202 Moore’s Fed. Prac. -- Civ. § 202.02

rule . . . grants jurisdiction to the circuit courts to review only final decisions of the district courts

and federal agencies, which the courts have construed to mean final judgments.”). This ruling does

not prejudice Plaintiffs as they may appeal any order once final judgment in this case is entered.

This order disposes of Docket No. 167.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
