Heading: February 6, 1996, Order Reversed on January 10, 1997

Text: On February 6, 1996, after the December 3, 1993/October 6, 1995, order had been certified as final pursuant to Rule 54(b), the circuit court issued another order, this time appointing an independent monitor to report to the trial court regarding the implementation of the remedy plan. The trial judge issued that order in spite of the fact that she had certified the October 6, 1995, order as final under Rule 54(b), Ala.R.Civ.P., and the Equity Funding Case was pending on appeal. Like the original trial judge, she did not treat the order as final and appealable, in spite of her own Rule 54(b) certification.
