Heading: Personal Jurisdiction Over Kraft UK

Text: 34 In its brief, Whetstone argues that the district court erred when it dismissed Kraft UK from this action for lack of personal jurisdiction. We do not reach the merits of Whetstone's argument because we do not have jurisdiction to decide the issue. In its Notice of Appeal, Whetstone gave notice that it was appealing only the district court's summary judgment decision. It did not give notice of its intention to appeal the district court's earlier decision to dismiss Kraft UK for lack of personal jurisdiction, and no notice of appeal was sent to any representative of Kraft UK. Where an `appellant notices the appeal of a specified judgment only... this court has no jurisdiction to review other judgments or issues which are not expressly referred to and which are not impliedly intended for appeal.' Pitney Bowes, Inc. v. Mestre, 701 F.2d 1365, 1375 (11th Cir.1983) (quoting C.A. May Marine Supply Co. v. Brunswick Corp., 649 F.2d 1049, 1056 (5th Cir.1981)); see also Fed. R.App. P. 3(c)(B) (requiring that the notice of appeal designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed); Cole v. Tuttle, 540 F.2d 206, 207 (5th Cir.1976) (holding that there is no jurisdiction over a district court's interlocutory decision to dismiss several defendants when the plaintiffs never gave notice that they were appealing that decision). 18
