D&M Roofing & Siding v. Distribution, Inc.

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction because the district court had not rendered a judgment or entered a final order from which an appeal could be taken. Although the district court resolved the summary judgment motions and concluded that the plaintiff could not recover under the damages provision on which it had relied, neither order expressly granted or denied all relief on the breach of contract claim or otherwise ended the action. The court held that a final judgment requires a single signed written document formally stating all relief granted or denied. No separate opinions were filed.
