Facts

Procedural History

Parties' Submissions

• Petitioner-Appellant: Requested the court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law and to amend the trial judgment (para 1).
• Respondent-Appellee: [Not applicable or not found]

Legal Issues

• Whether the district court's orders are final for purposes of appeal in light of Petitioner's post-judgment motion (para 2).

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals dismissed Petitioner's appeal for lack of a final, appealable order and remanded for further proceedings (para 3).

Reasons

• The Court, consisting of Judges M. Monica Zamora, Timothy L. Garcia, and J. Miles Hanisee, unanimously agreed that the Petitioner's post-judgment motion rendered the district court's orders non-final. This determination was based on the principle that a judgment or order remains non-final while a motion that challenges the district court’s determination of the rights of the parties is pending, making any appeal premature. Both Respondent and Petitioner agreed that the orders were not final for purposes of appeal, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and remand for further proceedings (paras 2-3).
