MEMORANDUM**
Kathy Avechuco appeals from the dismissal of her action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and various state law theories. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
This action was filed against John Carrigan, who was Avechuco's former boyfriend, and who was also a police officer. He stalked and harassed her after they broke up. The action was also filed against Carrigan's employer, the City of La Mesa, and against the City's Police Chief, Walter Mitchell. The district court dismissed the action against the City and the Police Chief. It did not dismiss the case as to Carrigan, against whom a default had been entered by the clerk, nor did it enter judgment against him, nor did it make the determinations which would allow an appeal of the dismissal alone. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).
When judgment is entered against some of the defendants in a case but not against others, we lack jurisdiction unless the district court has certified the limited judgment for appeal. See Cotter v. Desert Palace, Inc., 880 F.2d 1142, 1144 (9th Cir.1989); Ackerman-Chillingsworth, Div. of Marsh & McLennan, Inc. v. Pacific Elec. Contractors Ass'n, 579 F.2d 484, 489 (9th Cir.1978), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 1089, 99 S.Ct. 872, 59 L.Ed.2d 56 (1979); see also Chacon v. Babcock, 640 F.2d 221, 222 (9th Cir.1981). Thus, because the case still remains open as it relates to Carrigan, we lack appellate jurisdiction.
DISMISSED. The mandate shall issue immediately upon the filing of this disposition. The parties shall bear their own costs on appeal.
