Can an appeal be made from a judgment that fails to complete all the causes of action pending between the parties?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Hill v. City of Clovis, 63 Cal.App.4th 434, 73 Cal.Rptr.2d 638 (Cal. App. 1998):

We remain convinced we have no jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. An appeal cannot be taken from a judgment which fails to complete the disposition of all the causes of action pending between the parties. (Morehart v. County of Santa Barbara (1994) 7 Cal.4th 725, 743, 29 [63 Cal.App.4th 443] Cal.Rptr.2d 804, 872 P.2d 143.) Such a judgment "is necessarily 'interlocutory' ( 904.1, subd. (a)), and not yet final, as to any parties between whom another cause of action remains pending." (Morehart v. County of Santa Barbara, supra, 7 Cal.4th at p. 741, 29 Cal.Rptr.2d 804, 872 P.2d 143.)
