This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Octavio Sanchez appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his
claims against defendant Ghost Management Group, LLC, arising from a
trademark dispute. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
A review of the record and the response to this court’s February 22, 2021
order to show cause demonstrate that the court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal
because the order challenged in the appeal is not final or appealable. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 54(b) (“[T]he court may direct entry of a final judgment as to one or more,
but fewer than all, claims or parties only if the court expressly determines that
there is no just reason for delay.”); Chacon v. Babcock, 640 F.2d 221, 222 (9th Cir.
1981) (order is not appealable unless it disposes of all claims as to all parties, or
judgment is entered in compliance with Rule 54(b)). Consequently, this appeal is
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
This dismissal is without prejudice to the filing of a timely notice of appeal
from any final order or judgment, or a judgment entered in compliance with Rule
54(b), subsequently entered by the district court.
DISMISSED.
