Medical Business v. Magnolia City

Date: 08-05-2004

Case Number: 03-1038 and 03-1419

Judge: Per Curiam

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on appeal from the Western District of Arkansas

Plaintiff's Attorney: Unknown

Defendant's Attorney: Unknown

Description:


In these consolidated appeals, Harold Evans, Greg Evans, and Bunker Hill,
LLC (appellants) appeal the district court's1 order assessing costs and concluding
Magnolia City Hospital (Magnolia) was entitled to attorney's fees. Magnolia crossappeals
the district court's order concluding it lacked jurisdiction to rule on motions
during the pendency of appellants' appeal. As appellants have acknowledged in their
brief, this appeal is premature because the order appealed did not award an amount
of attorney's fees and thus was not final. Accordingly, we dismiss appellants' appeal
for lack of jurisdiction.

Outcome:
Because the district court’s order concluding it lacked jurisdiction during the
appeal will be mooted by our dismissal of appellants’ appeal, we dismiss Magnolia’s
cross-appeal as moot. We also deny as moot Magnolia’s pending motion.
