Text: The parties disagree over the existence of appellate jurisdiction. Denials of motions made pursuant to 60(b) are held to be appealable final orders under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Green v. White, 319 F.3d 560, 563 n.2 (3d Cir. 2003). While we recognize that Chusid’s motion is an atypical 60(b) motion, we conclude that orders from 60(b) motions constitute appealable final orders when “[t]he denial of this motion would dispose, finally, of the charge and ...wrap up all matters pending on the docket.” 5 See Torres v. Chater, 125 F.3d 166, 168 (3d Cir. 1997) (citing favorably Kapco Manufacturing Co. v. C & O Enter., 773 F.2d 151, 153 (7th Cir. 1985)); Penn W. Assocs. v. Cohen, 371 F.3d 118, 123-24 (3d. Cir. 2004). In the instant case, the New Jersey Court’s denial of the motion to stay terminated all litigation on the docket for the New Jersey action thus qualifying the denial of this unorthodox 60(b) motion as an appealable final order.
