Opinion
No. 08-3650-cv.
February 22, 2010.
Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Vitaliano, J.). UPON DUE CONSIDERATION IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the appeal be DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
Marilyn E. Matheson, pro se, Rosedale, N.Y., for Appellant.
Kyra A. Grundeman (Daniel L. Cantor, Brian P. Brooks, on the brief), O'Melveny Myers LLP, New York, N.Y., for Appellees.
SUMMARY ORDER
Marilyn E. Matheson, pro se, appeals from the district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of all defendants except Delta Funding Corporation and Delta Financial Corporation. We assume the parties' familiarity with the facts and procedural history.
Upon review of the record and case law, this Court has determined sua sponte that it lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because a final order has not been issued by the district court as contemplated by 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Coopers Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U.S. 463, 467, 98 S.Ct. 2454, 57 L.Ed.2d 351 (1978). Appellant's claims against Delta Funding Corporation and Delta Financial Corporation remain unresolved because those defendants are protected by a bankruptcy stay, see Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. v. Yanakas, 7 F.3d 310, 314-15 (2d Cir. 1993), and a final judgment as to fewer than all parties has not been entered as contemplated by Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b). See LTV Steel Co., Inc. v. United Mine Workers of America (In re Chateaugay Corp.), 928 F.2d 63, 64-65 (2d Cir. 1991)
For the reasons stated above, the appeal is DISMISSED without prejudice to a reinstatement should the district court certify "a final judgment as to one or more, but fewer than all, claims or parties" based on a finding of "no just reason for delay." Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).
