UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

ROGER SCOTT BRYNER, 

 Plaintiff - Appellant, 

v. 

SVETLANA BRYNER, 

Defendant - Appellee.

No. 09-4195

(D.C. No. 2:09-CV-00161-DB)

(D. Utah)

ORDER

Before HARTZ, ANDERSON, 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 containing a

final judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) as to the September 11, 2009 Order appealed

by Plaintiff Roger Bryner or explicitly resolving Plaintiff’s remaining claim against

Defendant Svetlana Bryner for violation of the automatic bankruptcy stay. 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).

This court lacks jurisdiction. The parties failed to 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 claim against Defendant has not been explicitly resolved. 

Consequently, the September 11, 2009 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.
