Text: We note at the outset that we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Prior to oral argument, our jurisdiction was not clear. See McSherry v. Long Beach, 423 F.3d 1015, 1022(9th Cir.2005), as amended (citations omitted) ([P]reliminary evidentiary rulings are not final decisions reviewable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.). However, at oral argument, counsel for Appellants provided this court with a minute order from the district court closing the case effective September 1, 2006. We possess jurisdiction over the evidentiary ruling as a final order of the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; see also Nat'l Distribution Agency v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 117 F.3d 432, 434 (9th Cir.1997) (providing that an order is final if the district court intended no further action).
