Text: 30 The United States also moves to dismiss the RFRA claims for failure to state a claim, contending that we may exercise pendent party jurisdiction over its appeal because the issues raised in its appeal are coterminous with those raised by the INS officials' qualified immunity appeal. As will appear, however, our dismissal of the RFRA claim against the INS officials does not dispose of the RFRA claim against the United States. See infra at section V. We therefore lack jurisdiction over the United States' appeal. See Huskey v. City of San Jose, 204 F.3d 893, 905 (9th Cir.2000) (Th[e] narrow avenue for the continued use of pendent appellate jurisdiction left open by Swint would not apply to the instant case if our ruling on the merits of the collateral qualified immunity appeal did not resolve all of the remaining issues presented by the pendent appeal.).
