Legal Issues

Disposition

• The appeal by the defendants (Appellants) was dismissed for lack of a sufficiently final order.

Reasons

• BUSTAMANTE, Judge, with CELIA FOY CASTILLO, Chief Judge, and J. MILES HANISEE, Judge concurring, found that the appellants' memorandum failed to address the court's concerns regarding the finality of the order from which they appealed. After reviewing the appellants' memorandum and considering the arguments for and against the proposed summary disposition, the court concluded that the order granting summary judgment did not meet the criteria for a sufficiently final order that would permit an appeal, leading to the dismissal of the appeal based on the reasons set forth in the notice of proposed summary dismissal.
