U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Decided June 26, 1987 · Coffey, Flaúm, Ripple
823 F.2d 174 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Homemakers North Shore, Inc. v. Otis R. Bowen, Secretary of Health and Human Services

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Secretary has filed a motion asking that this court dismiss the appeal on the authority of Foremost Sales Promotions, Inc. v. Director, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 812 F.2d 1044 (7th Cir. 1987). This case is clearly distinguishable. The minute order states: “The Secretary is granted summary judgment. Plaintiffs cross-motion for summary judgment is defnied [sic]. Pretrial conference and trial dates are stricken.” This entry was preceded by the phrase “judgment is entered as follows:” Unlike Foremost, it completely and succinctly ends the litigation. It is crystal clear that there is nothing left to be decided. The judgment is final and appealable.

The Secretary is given five (5) days to file his brief.

So Ordered.
