Alexander v. Arceneaux

Okposio v. Barry University, Inc.

The Eleventh Circuit dismissed an appeal sua sponte because the district court's order did not resolve all claims or parties in the underlying case. The appellate court held that the order was not final under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and did not qualify as an immediately appealable interlocutory order.
