Douglass v. Grigas

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided July 20, 2004

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2004-07-20

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996)

Relies on Chacon v. Babcock

Decided 2004-07-20

¶1MEMORANDUM

¶2Nevada state inmate, Samuel Henry Douglass, appeals the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record reveals that one of the claims in Douglass’s habeas petition pertaining to the alleged admission of evidence in violation of his Miranda rights remains before the district court. Because there is no final judgment in this case, we dismiss Douglass’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. *311§ 2253 (permitting an appeal only from a “final order”); Chacon v. Babcock, 640 F.2d 221, 222 (9th Cir.1981) (holding that because one of the plaintiffs claims, “remain[ed] a live cause still pending in the District Court as part and parcel of [the plaintiffs] action,” there was no final judgment for purposes of appellate jurisdiction).

¶3DISMISSED.
