10/13/2005		On consideration of the notice of appeal filed on September 114, 2005, and it appearing that this appeal has been taken from a non-final order of the Superior court, it is (More)
10/13/2005		ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE - ORDERED that appellant shall within 20 days from the date of this order show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as having been taken from a non-final order of the Superior Court. See D.C. Code 11-721 (2001). (BY: ETW)

10/21/2005		RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE- to 10/13/05
10/27/2005		ORDERED that this appeal is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In the absence of a Super. Ct. Civ. R. 54 (b) certification, dismissal of a third-party complaint is not an appealable order. See Exton v. Gen'tl Elec. Credit Corpo.,. 291 A.2d 706 (D.C. 1972). Appellant's reliance on Fukwu v. Bell Atlantic, 652 A.2d 1109 (D.C. 1995) is misplaced. That case is distinguished by the fact that judgment was reinstated at the same time that the counterclaim was dismissed; thus, nothing remained pending in the Superior Court and the matter as final for the purposes of appeal. That is not the situation presented here where other parts of the case remain pending below. (RZNWNE)
