UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

RYAN W. TUCKER, 

Plaintiff - Appellant, 

v. 

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC., 

Defendant - Appellee. 

No. 07-3250

(D.C. No. 06-CV-1204-MLB)

ORDER

Filed November 15, 2007

Before TACHA, Chief Judge, KELLY and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal filed by plaintiff Ryan Tucker,

because all of the claims against all of the parties have not been finally adjudicated.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b).

The district court consolidated for “all purposes” the case which gives rise to

this appeal with Case No. 6:06-cv-01203-MLB. The plaintiffs’ claims in the latter

case are still pending before the district court. Absent a Rule 54(b) certification, all

of the claims in both cases must be fully adjudicated before an appeal may be taken.

See Jackson v. Volvo Trucks North America, 462 F.3d 1234, 1239 (10th Cir. 2006)

(“As a general matter, a judgment in a consolidated action that does not dispose of

all claims is not considered a final appealable decision under § 1291.”) (citing to

Trinity Broadcasting Corp. v. Eller, 827 F.2d 673, 675 (10th Cir. 1987)). 

The district court, however, denied Mr. Tucker’s motion for Rule 54(b)

certification.

Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED without prejudice to Mr. Tucker

filing a timely appeal after entry of a final judgment or a Rule 54(b) certification.
