Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 991 F.2d 796 (6th Cir. 1993) March 26, 1993

Before: MARTIN and SILER, Circuit Judges, and WELLFORD, Senior Circuit Judge.


ORDER

Defendant State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm") appeals the December 15, 1992, order denying its motion for summary judgment and granting partial summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs. Plaintiffs now move to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In response, State Farm asserts that it was and is uncertain as to whether the December 15, 1992, order is a final, appealable order.

This court has jurisdiction of appeals from final decisions of the district courts. 28 U.S.C. § 1291. An order disposing of fewer than all of the claims in an action is not appealable. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 744 (1976). The order appealed by State Farm does not resolve plaintiffs' claims for monetary relief and is not a final, appealable order.

It therefore is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss is granted.
