Paradise Harbor Place Trust v. Deutsche Bank Nat'l Trust Co. ( 2014 )


Menu:
  •                   appeal because the express requirements under NRCP 54(b) can be
    inferred from the tenor of the appealed order.
    Having considered the response and reply, we remain
    unconvinced that jurisdiction over this appeal is proper, as the defect
    identified by this court's previous order has not been cured, and as it
    would be improper to infer compliance with NRCP 54(b). See NRCP 54(b);

    , 1071-72 (7th Cir. 1981)
    (explaining the important purposes served by requiring both an express
    determination of no just reason for delay and express entry of judgment).
    Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction and thus
    ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1

    cc: Hon. Jerome T. Tao, District Judge
    'The appealed order also granted appellant leave to amend its
    complaint. As a result, it further appears that, even if thefl district court
    had made express NRCP 54(b) determinations, certification of the order as
    final would be improper. See WMX Techs., Inc. v. Miller, 
    104 F.3d 1133
    ,
    1136 (9th Cir. 1997) ("[A] plaintiff, who has been given leave to amend,
    may not file a notice of appeal simply because he does not choose to file an
    amended complaint. A further district court determination must be
    obtained "); cf. Transcontinental Oil Co. of Nev. v. Free, 
    80 Nev. 207
    , 209,
    
    391 P.2d 317
    , 318 (1964) (recognizing that the district court does not lose
    jurisdiction over a case after entering an order of dismissal with leave to
    amend).
