Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; August 22, 2007; Federal Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

Leigh-Davis Glass appeals pro se from a district court order that dismissed her action under the Truth in Lending Act and various consumer protection laws without prejudice. The appellate court dismisses the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, noting that the dismissal order is not final, referencing Disabled Rights Action Comm. v. Las Vegas Events, Inc., 375 F.3d 861, 870 (9th Cir. 2004). Consequently, the court does not address Glass’s motion to refer the matter to the Judicial Council. The dismissal is deemed not appropriate for publication and holds no precedential value except as specified under 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
