Murphy states that it has filed its proposed findings, conclusions, and judgment, and that Mirafi has requested and been granted the right to submit proposed counter findings, conclusions, and judgment.

5
It is clear from the language of the district court's order and the conduct of the parties that the December 14 order is not final or appealable.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

7
(1) Murphy's motion to dismiss is granted.

(2) If Mirafi notices an appeal after final judgment, no additional filing fee shall be required.
