Heading: Denial of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment

Text: 15 Defendant devotes the majority of its argument challenging the district court's disposition of its summary judgment motion. We note as an initial matter that defendant fails to cite in its notice of appeal the order denying in part defendant's summary judgment motion. Even if defendant had properly cited the order, however, this court in Jarrett v. Epperly, 896 F.2d 1013, 1016 (6th Cir.1990), held that when summary judgment is denied and the movant subsequently loses after a full trial on the merits, the denial of summary judgment may not be appealed. See also Summit Petroleum Corp. v. Ingersoll-Rand Fin. Corp., 909 F.2d 862, 865 n. 4 (6th Cir.1990) (applying Jarrett ). Therefore, defendant is precluded from challenging the order as a matter of law.
