ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court is a Motion for Entry of Rule 54(b) Judgments in favor of Washington
Group International, Inc. (“WGI”) (Doc. No. 21285). This Court granted a Motion for Summary
Judgment with respect to all cases that were pending before the Court on December 20, 2013 (Doc.
21245). Because certain cases had been transferred from this section to Section B, Judge Ivan L.R.
Lemelle, the claims in those transferred suits against WGI were not adjudicated. As a result, those
cases (which are captioned above) were transferred back to this section for final disposition.

1169584v.1

The instant motion seeking the entry of a Rule 54(b) judgment was filed, no opposition has
been lodged thereto, and for all of the reasons stated in the Court’s Order and Reasons of December
20, 2013 (Doc. 21245), the Court finds merit in this motion and finding no just cause for delay
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b),
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for Entry of Rule 54(b) Judgments in favor of
Washington Group International, Inc. is GRANTED and judgment shall be entered in favor of
Washington Group International, Inc. and against all plaintiffs in the enumerated cases with each
party to bear its/his/her costs.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 17th day of September, 2014.
