UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
JOHN C. RUIZ-BUENO, III, et al.,
Plaintiffs,

Case No. 2:12-cv-809
JUDGE GREGORY L. FROST
Magistrate Judge Kemp

v.
ZACK SCOTT, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ motion for certification of interlocutory
order. (ECF No. 250.) Plaintiffs request that this Court grant certification of its October 16,
2014 order on summary judgment (ECF No. 242.) so that the parties may have the opportunity to
resolve all of the current appellate issues at the same time. Thus, if and when this matter comes
back before this Court, the proper defendants and claims are tried.
When an action includes more than one claim for relief, or when various parties are
involved, the Court may enter a final judgment on one or more of those claims or parties. Fed.
R. Civ. P. 54(b). The Court may only do so, however, if there is no just reason for delay. Id.
Plaintiffs have proffered that this Court’s decision to certify its earlier order would be an
efficient use of judicial time and resources, by allowing all of the pending appellate issues to be
resolved concurrently. This Court agrees, and finds that there is no just reason for delay.
For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion for certification. (ECF
No. 250.) The Court hereby ISSUES A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
