ORDER*

2
This matter comes to us for the third time, returning from the order of remand in Interpool Ltd. v. Char Yigh Marine (Panama) S.A.  (Interpool II), Nos. 92-55339, 92-55427 (9th Cir.  Mar. 8, 1995) (unpublished memorandum disposition).  In that disposition, we held that Char Yigh did not have legal capacity to sue as a third-party claimant to the C.C. San Francisco, and that "Char Yigh's failure in its earlier submissions to predicate an argument, or to file a motion based on Fed.R.Civ.P. 25(c) constitutes a waiver of any such claim."1  We remanded for the limited purpose of reconsideration of the denial of prejudgment interest.  The district court entered a substitute judgment, awarding Interpool prejudgment interest at the rate of 11.98% per annum.  Trustees of Char Yigh filed a notice of appeal.

3
Trustees of Char Yigh never appeared before the district court.  The Trustees have never complied with Fed.R.Civ.P. 25(c).  They are not, and have never been, a party to this lawsuit.  We therefore hold that the Trustees of Char Yigh lack standing or capacity to pursue this appeal.  The appeal is therefore DISMISSED.
