Shaath v. Oudeh CA4/1
This is an appeal from a postjudgment order in a matter in which the superior court has consolidated three actions for all purposes. The postjudgment order vacated and set aside a default and a default judgment in one of the three actions.
Since the judgment that preceded the postjudgment order on appeal did not terminate the litigation between all of the parties in all of the actions in the consolidated case, the judgment is not final as to those parties who still maintained claims and defenses that were not fully and finally resolved by the judgment. Because the judgment was not final as between those parties, the postjudgment order as between those parties is not an appealable order. Thus, as we explain, appellate jurisdiction is lacking, and we will dismiss the appeal as to them.
