Disposition

• The appeal was dismissed for lack of a final order (para 2).

Reasons

• Per J. Miles Hanisee, with concurrence from Linda M. Vanzi, Chief Judge, and Emil J. Kiehne, Judge: The Court of Appeals decided to dismiss the appeal due to the absence of a final written order on the Respondent's motion to reconsider dated August 3, 2017. The Court noted that the Respondent filed a memorandum in opposition to the proposed summary disposition, which included the district court's November 7, 2017, order on a motion to reconsider dated October 26, 2017. However, this did not address the lack of a final written order for the August 3, 2017, motion, leading to the dismissal of the appeal (paras 1-2).
