Kilgore v. <strong>Nebraska</strong> Dept. of Health & Human Servs., 277 Neb. 456, 763 N.W.2d 77<br />
(2009)<br />
An award of costs in a judgment is considered a part of the judgment. As such, a<br />
judgment does not become final and appealable until the trial court has ruled upon a<br />
pending statutory request for attorney fees.<br />
To be appealable, an order must satisfy the final order requirements of Neb. Rev.<br />
Stat. § 25-1902<br />
The mere oral announcement of a judgment without an entry on the trial docket is<br />
not the rendition of a judgment.<br />
For a final judgment to exist, there must be an order that is both signed by the<br />
court and filed stamped and dated by the clerk of the court.<br />
Koch v. Koch, 226 Neb. 305, 312, 411 N.W.2d 319, 323 (1987)<br />
“Indispensable parties to a suit are those who not only have an interest in the<br />
subject matter of the controversy, but also have an interest of such a nature that a<br />
final decree cannot be made without affecting their interests, or leaving the<br />
controversy in such a condition that its final determination may be wholly<br />
inconsistent with equity and good conscience. . . .” Cited in Helter v. Williamson,<br />
239 Neb. 741, 478 N.W.2d 6 (1991)<br />
Meadows v. Meadows, 18 Neb. App. 333, 789 N.W.2d 519 (2010)<br />
Facts: Mom appealed district court ruling that it was “not an inconvenient forum” to hear dad’s<br />
modification action. Court of Appeals dismissed for lack of an appealable order.<br />
§ 25-1902 provides that a party may appeal from a court’s order only if the decision<br />
is a final, appealable order. Under § 25-1902, an order is final for purposes of an<br />
appeal if it affects a substantial right and (1) determines the action and prevents a<br />
judgment, (2) is made during a special proceeding, or (3) is made on summary<br />
application in an action after judgment is rendered.<br />
overruling a motion to decline jurisdiction under § 43-1244 on the ground of<br />
inconvenient forum does not affect a substantial right and is not a final, appealable<br />
order,<br />
Parker v. Parker, 10 Neb. App. 658, 636 N.W.2d 385 (2001)<br />
Helpful hints on styling your court orders. At least one of our judges is a stickler about these<br />
sorts of things. Also note the law generally precludes a trial court from only partially rendering<br />
judgment on the pleadings. Anything less than a final determination of all pending issues is not<br />
an appealable order.<br />
It has long been the rule that a “finding” by a trial court is not a final, appealable<br />
order. An appellate court is without jurisdiction to entertain appeals from nonfinal<br />
orders.<br />
A court order is generally not appealable unless all of the claims of the plaintiff and<br />
intervenor are viewed as adjudicated.<br />
See § 25-1315 (Cum. Supp. 2006) for the express rule governing exceptions to this general rule (it<br />
only applies when there are more than 2 parties OR multiple claims for relief). Trial court orders<br />
not resolving all claims against all parties are always subject to revision at any time before the<br />
entry of judgment adjudicating all the claims and the rights and liabilities of all the parties, thus,<br />
they are not appealable.<br />
