KROHNE FUND. L.P., SEAN WRIGHT,

              Defendants,

ANTHONY BIRBILIS,

              Defendant and Appellant.

        This rnatter comes before the Court on Defendant and Appellant Anthony Birbilis's
notice of appeal from the Thirteenth Judicial District Court, Cause No. DV 15-0391. Birbilis
asserts that this appeal is taken frorn an order certi fied as final by the District Court pursuant
to M. R. Civ. P. 54(b).
        Under Rule 54(b)(1), when an action presents more than one claim for relief or when
multiple parties are involved, the court may direct entry of a final judgment as to one or
more, but fewer than all, claims or parties only ifthe court expressly determines that there is
no just reason for delay. In the present case, the District Court has not certified any orders
under Rule 54(b), but our review of the record indicates that such certification is
unnecessary. Birbilis appealed after the District Court made dispositive rulings on all
matters and entered final judgment. This matter is appealable pursuant to M. R. App. P.
6(1).
        IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this appeal may proceed.
      The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all parties and counsel of
record.
          DATED thiA8     day of May, 2023.
