Heading: The finality of the district court's order

Text: 13 Under Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, in actions involving multiple claims for relief ... an order that finally disposes of one or more but fewer than all of the claims for relief asserted ... does not terminate the action in the district court and is not appealable as a final order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Huckeby v. Frozen Food Express, 555 F.2d 542, 545 (5th Cir.1977). Although the district court allowed two of Hill's claims to proceed in state court, these two claims were terminate[d] for purposes of further action by the district court, thereby making the district court's order one that is final and appealable in this court. Engelhardt v. Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 139 F.3d 1346, 1350-51 (11th Cir.1998) (concluding that the decision of a district court to remand state-law claims based on a denial of supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) is appealable).
