Judge(s): COLE, KETHLEDGE, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United State Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee at Nashville

COLE, Circuit Judge. After the bankruptcy court denied plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and granted partial summary judgment to Max Salas, plaintiffs obtained leave to pursue an interlocutory appeal in the district court. The district court affirmed and remanded the matter to the bankruptcy court for further proceedings. It did not certify the issue for appeal or the order as final. For their part, plaintiffs did not seek certification to this court. Because we lack jurisdiction, we must dismiss the appeal.
