Data Technology Group Inc. v. Capital Data Analytics Inc. - Appeal Jurisdiction
Summary
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal from Data Technology Group, Inc. against Capital Data Analytics, Inc. The court found it lacked jurisdiction because the district court's order was not a final decision, as claims against other defendants remained pending. The appeal was dismissed without prejudice.
What changed
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, in a non-precedential opinion, dismissed the appeal filed by Data Technology Group, Inc. against Capital Data Analytics, Inc. The court determined that it lacked appellate jurisdiction because the district court's September 18, 2025 order granting a motion to dismiss for two defendants was not a final decision. This is due to the amended complaint remaining pending against other defendants in the district court, and the order not being certified for immediate review under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) or Rule 54(b).
This ruling means that Data Technology Group cannot pursue this appeal at this time. The company must await a final judgment from the district court that resolves all claims against all parties before filing a new appeal. Legal professionals involved in similar cases should ensure that all claims are resolved or properly certified for interlocutory appeal before filing an appeal to avoid dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.
What to do next
- Ensure all claims are resolved or properly certified for interlocutory appeal before filing an appeal.

2 Opinion of the Court 25-13427
PER CURIAM:
Data Technology Group, Inc. filed an amended complaint
against four defendants. On September 18, 2025, the district court
entered an order granting the motion to dismiss filed by two of
those defendants. Data Technology Group appeals that order.
We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the September
18 order is not final, as Data Technology Group’s amended com-
plaint against the remaining defendants remains pending before
the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (providing appellate juris-
diction over “final decisions of the district courts”); Acheron Cap.,
Ltd. v. Mukamal, 22 F.4th 979, 986 (11th Cir. 2022) (explaining that
a final decision ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing
for the court to do but execute its judgment). Further, that order
is not otherwise appealable now because the district court did not
certify it for immediate review and it is effectively reviewable on
appeal from a final judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (b) (providing
for appeal of certain certified interlocutory orders); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b) (providing for entry of final judgment as to fewer than all par-
ties or claims); Plaintiff A v. Schair, 744 F.3d 1247, 1252–53 (11th Cir.
2014) (explaining that a ruling that does not conclude the litigation
may be appealed under the collateral order doctrine if it, inter alia,
is “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment” (ci-
tation modified)).
Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack
of jurisdiction.
