ON MOTION Before LOUR1E, MO0RE, AND REYNA, Circuit Judges. LOURIE, Circuit Ju,dge. 0 R D E R At1antic Research Marketing Syste1ns, Inc. (ARMS) moves to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction ATLANTIC RESEARCH V. TROY 2 Stephen P. Troy, Jr. and Troy Industries, Inc. (Troy) oppose. ARMS replies. Troy’s appeals focuses on two decisions by the magis- trate judge concerning discovery matters Troy argues that such decisions are immediately appealable to this court under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). That section allows, in relevant part: Upon consent of the parties, a full-time United States magistrate judge or a part-time United States magistrate judge who serves as a full-time judicial officer may conduct any or all proceedings in a jury or nonjury civil matter and order the en- try of judgment in the case, when specially desig- nated to exercise such jurisdiction by the district court or courts he serves. f The docket in this case does not indicate th`at this case was referred to a magistrate judge for judgment under Section 636(c)(l) and judgment has not been entered This section is inapplicable. Because there are pending claims, there is no final judgment and this appeal is pre1nature.SeeNystrom v. Trex Co., 339 F.3d 1347, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2003) ("If` a case is not fully adjudicated as to all claims for all parties and there is no express determination that there is no just reason for delay or express direction for entry of judgment as to fewer than all of the parties or claims, there is no final decision . . . and therefore no jurisdiction.”) Any adversely affected party may, of course, file a notice of appeal after the district court claims disposes of all claims and enters final judgment Accordingly, lT lS ORDERED THAT2 (1) The motion is granted ATLANTIC RESEARCH V.
