ORDER
15
16
The court has before it defendant Burton’s renewed motion for entry of judgment
17
(doc. 101). We dismissed defendant Burton from this case on October 21, 2011 (doc. 25).
18
On December 28, 2012, we granted summary judgment in favor of the only remaining
19
defendant (doc. 98), and the clerk entered final judgment on that same day (doc. 99).
20
Defendant Burton now asks, out of an abundance of caution, that we enter separate judgment
21
in his favor.
22
The entry of a final judgment in defendant Burton’s favor is unnecessary because the
23
filing of the final judgment on December 28, 2012 disposed of the entire case, leaving
24
nothing pending in this action. Once that judgment was entered, the earlier interlocutory
25
order dismissing defendant Burton became final. See American Ironworks & Erectors Inc.
26
v. North Am. Constr. Corp., 248 F.3d 892, 897-98 (9th Cir. 2001). There is no need to enter
27
a separate final judgment with respect to our interlocutory orders. Id. at 898.
