CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
NO. 19-9301
EPIC APPLIED
TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, ET AL
SECTION:“B” (3)
ORDER AND CERTIFICATION
OF JUDGMENT AS FINAL PURSUANT TO RULE 54(B)
Interpleader defendants Epic Companies, LLC, Navarro Capital
Partners, LLC, and Epic Applied Technologies, LLC’s joint motion
for
entry
of
a
certified
final
judgment
(Rec.
Doc.
82)
is
GRANTED.
IT IS ORDERED that the judgment
against
Ranger
Offshore,
Inc. issued contemporaneously with this order is hereby certified
as appealable pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b).
First, the Court determines that Rule 54(b) is applicable, because
“multiple parties are involved.” Second, the Court determines that
its
judgment
against
Ranger
should
be
certified
as
final
and
appealable because “there is no just reason for delay,” for the
reasons stated in the movants’ motion. Specifically, the Court
finds
that
issuing
a
final
judgment
against
Ranger,
a
non-
responsive party in this proceeding, will allow for the remaining
parties
to
reach
a
consensual
1
resolution,
thereby
preserving

trial. Accordingly, the motion has merit and should be granted.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 14th day of October, 2020.
