UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

FREDDIE DAVID MARTINEZ,

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

 v. 

EAGLE RIVER WATER AND

SANITATION DISTRICT; SALLY

LA POINTE; DENNIS GALVIN;

CHRISTINE SPAETH,

 Defendants - Appellees.

No. 07-1430

(D. Colo. No. 06-CV-1675-LTB)

ORDER

Before TACHA, O’BRIEN, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

This appeal is before the court based on a show cause order challenging

appellate jurisdiction and directing the parties to obtain a district court order either

granting certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) as to the district court’s September

6, 2007 Order appealed by Plaintiff Freddie Martinez, or explicitly adjudicating

Plaintiff’s claims against the remaining Defendant, Christine Spaeth. See Stockman's

Water Company, LLC v. Vaca Partners, L.P., 425 F.3d 1263, 1265 (10th Cir. 2005);

Lewis v. B. F. Goodrich Co., 850 F.2d 641, 645-46 (10th Cir. 1988).

The court lacks appellate jurisdiction. The parties did not move in the district

court for a Rule 54(b) certification. Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Christine

Spaeth remain unresolved. Consequently, the district court’s September 6, 2007

Order appealed by Plaintiff is interlocutory and not immediately appealable under

28 U.S.C. § 1291 or under any recognized exception to the final judgment rule. 

The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction. Appellees’

motion to dismiss is DENIED as moot.

Entered for the Court,
