Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 54 F.3d 786 (9th Cir. 1995) Submitted May 4, 1995. *Decided May 17, 1995

Before: BROWNING, REAVLEY,**  and NORRIS, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM*** 

This court does not have jurisdiction over this appeal. The district court's order granting partial summary judgment does not constitute an appealable final judgment. The appeal does not fall within the Forgay v. Conrad, 47 U.S. (6 How.) 201 (1848), exception to the rule requiring finality of judgment before appeal. See Rosenfeld v. United States, 859 F.2d 717, 722 (9th Cir. 1988). Nor does the appeal meet the criteria for an exception to the finality rule under the collateral order doctrine. See Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 69 S. Ct. 1221, 1225-26 (1949); Pride Shipping Corp. v. Tafu Lumber Co., 898 F.2d 1404, 1406 (9th Cir. 1990).

APPEAL DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a) and Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
