ORDER

Before BRISCOE, Chief Circuit Judge, MURPHY, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

Appellate Case: 10-3131 Document: 01018477313 Date Filed: 08/13/2010 Page: 1

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

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

judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) as to the March 30, 2010 Order appealed by Plaintiff

Charles Green or explicitly resolving Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against

Defendants Charles D. Lawhorn, John Satchell, and Correct Care Solutions. 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). In a June 4, 2010 Order, the

district court denied certification under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). 

This court lacks jurisdiction. The parties did not move in the district court for a Rule

54(b) certification and did not file anything in this court explaining their failure to do so.

Plaintiff’s remaining Eighth Amendment claim has not been resolved. Consequently, the

March 30, 2010 Order appealed by Plaintiff Green 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. All pending motions

are DENIED.

Entered for the Court,
