Whitaker v. Garcetti, 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 11012 (May 10)
On appeal, plaintiff objected to the denial of attorney’s fees. The Ninth Circuit dismissed this aspect of the appeal, because it lacked jurisdiction: “Plaintiffs never filed a notice of appeal on this claim as required by Federal Rule of Appellate procedure 3(a)(1).” Under all circumstances, “a party wishing to challenge the attorney fees decision must file a notice of appeal, or an amended notice of appeal specifying its appeal of that decision.”
