JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO
FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 54(b)
This action arises out of a March 8, 2011 incident in which Plaintiff Jane

20

Doe was sexually assaulted and battered by San Diego Police Department

21

Officer Anthony Arevalos. On March 27, 2014, the Court granted summary

22

judgment in favor of Arevalos’ past supervisors (the “Supervisor Defendants”)

23

on all claims asserted against them. [See Doc. No. 330.] Presently, the

24

Supervisor Defendants seek entry of final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of

25

Civil Procedure 54(b). [Doc. No. 344.] The motion is unopposed.

Under Rule 54(b), “the court may direct entry of a final judgment as to one
or more, but fewer than all, claims or parties only if the court expressly
1

12-cv-689

1

determines that there is no just reason for delay.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). Here,

2

the Court’s ruling on the Supervisor Defendants’ summary judgment motion

3

adjudicated all claims against them. Moreover, there is no just reason for delay

4

in entering final judgment as to the Supervisor Defendants because the claims

5

asserted against them are separable from the remaining claims. Thus, good cause

6

appearing, the Court hereby GRANTS the Supervisor Defendants’ motion for

7

entry of judgment pursuant to Rule 54(b).

8

Accordingly, the Court hereby ENTERS JUDGMENT in favor of

9

Defendants William Lansdowne, David Bejarano, Rudy Tai, Danny Hollister,

10

Kevin Friedman, Victoria Binkerd, Robert Kanaski, Max Verduzco, and Jorge

11

Guevara on all claims and issues alleged against them herein pursuant to Federal

12

Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b).

13

IT IS SO ORDERED.
