Appeal from the United States District Court For the Western District of Louisiana (99-CV-2) ___________________________________________________ November 6, 2001

Before DeMOSS, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

1 PER CURIAM:

Livestock Producers, Inc. (“LPI”) and Ronnie Stratton

(“Stratton”) (collectively referred to as the “Plaintiffs”) appeal

the district court’s decision to deny their motion for leave to

file a second amended complaint. Although the parties have not

contested this court’s jurisdiction, we are under a continuing

obligation to ensure that we have jurisdiction to hear this appeal.

MCG, Inc. v. Great Western Energy Corp.,

, 173 (5th

Cir. 1990). Therefore, we can raise the issue sua sponte.

Under

, we have jurisdiction over all “final

decisions” of the district court. However, in this case, it is not

clear whether the district court has entered a “final decision”

because it has not entered a final judgment. We therefore REMAND

this case back to the district court for further clarification. If

all claims have been ruled upon, the district court shall enter

final judgment.
