The following excerpt is from Stephens v. City of Vista, 994 F.2d 650 (9th Cir. 1993):
Although the jurisdictional issue in this case is a bit more difficult than is usual, we are satisfied that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over the present controversy. See Latch v. United States, 842 F.2d 1031, 1032 (9th Cir.1988) (appellate court with an obligation to satisfy itself of its own jurisdiction and of the jurisdiction of the district court).
