The following excerpt is from Flood v. Harrington, 532 F.2d 1248 (9th Cir. 1976):
In this case, the district court's order dismissing the complaint and action with prejudice was filed on October 30, 1973. 2 According to the government's brief, the district court order granting summary judgment for the government in United States v. Flood, supra, was not filed until November 28, 1973. Hence, the latter order can scarcely constitute a bar to the instant action, decided below on an earlier date.
