No, we don’t have jurisdiction.

November 26, 2018

The Fifth Circuit noted that “[t]he parties agree that we have jurisdiction over this appeal” in Aggreko LLC v. Chartis Specialty Ins. Co., which arose from rulings on cross-motions for summary judgment in a dispute about insurance coverage. Unfortunately for the parties seeking appellate review, the Court also reminded that “we must sua sponte examine the basis of our own jurisdiction when necessary.” Here, the disposition on summary judgment below did not end the litigation, as it resolved only some claims between some parties, and did not expressly result in the dismissal or entry of relief with respect to any parties’ claims.” No. 18-40325 (Nov. 21, 2018).
