Defendants-appellants Samer's Inc., Abuasi, Inc. and Samer Abuasi ("Samer, Inc.") appeal from the judgment of the trial court denying its motion for relief from judgment in favor of plaintiff-appellee Kaldas, Inc. ("appellee"). For the reasons set forth below, we sua sponte dismiss the appeal for lack of a final appealable order.

On May 7, 2004, the trial court entered the following: "Pursuant to order of the Court of Appeals, Judgment was entered against defendant Abuasi, Inc. and Samer Abuasi, personally." We note, however, in derogation of Civ.R. 54(B), there is no disposition in the record regarding defendant Samer, Inc. Accord Convenient Food Mart v. Winfield (Feb. 18, 1999), Cuyahoga App. No. 74012.
