Description
The plaintiffs in four wrongful death and survivosrhip lawsuits, Esther Knoepke, Allan Samson and Judith Mikkelson, Thomas and June Brady, and Frank and Marion Dusek, appeal from the judgment of the Tenth Judicial District Court, Judith Basin County. On December 28, 1979, the Hon. W.W. Lessley directed the entry of final judgment of an order entered June 7, 1977, in which the Hon. LeRoy McKinnon dismissed all the nonresident defendants from - Page 240 the plaintiffs lawsuits. In his order, Judge Lessley found no reason for delaying the entry of Judge McKinnons order and therefore directed final judgment be entered pursuant to Rule 54(b), M.R.Civ.P. In the plaintiffs previous attempt to appeal Judge McKinnons order, this Court declined to entertain the appeal because the dismissal order did not comply with Rule 54(b). See, Knoepke v. Southwestern Ry. Co. (1979), 182 Mont. 74, 595 P.2d 376.
