Case Explained: Non-Argument Calendar DWIGHT SMITH CATHERINE SMITH BRYANT SMITH v. CITY OF JOHNS CREEK a Municipality in the State of Georgia ERIC EHRENREICH BRADLEY ROSENQUIST MICHAEL BACON JAMES TAIT, et al USCA11 Case: 26-11386 Document: 13-1 Date Filed: 08/03/2026 Page: 1 of 3 2

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Filed: 2026-08-03 Docket: 1:24-cv-01163-SEG The eleventh-circuit dismissed the appeal sua sponte for lack of jurisdiction. The court held that the district court’s order dismissing claims against Eric Ehrenreich was not a final judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 because it did not end the litigation on the merits, as claims against other defendants remained pending. Furthermore, the court determined the order was not immediately appealable under the collateral order doctrine because any error could be effectively reviewed on appeal from a final judgment without imperiling a substantial interest. The practical consequence is that the appellants must await a final judgment disposing of all remaining claims before appealing the dismissal of Ehrenreich.
