Abstract

This appeal is from the order granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Western Division. The District Court had jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 (2002) because this case arises under the First Amendment of the Constitution and 42 U.S.C. 1983 (2002). This Court has jurisdiction over the present appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1291 (2002) because the appeal is from a final order of the United States District Court. The order granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is considered to be a final order because it disposed of all the parties' claims. Gordon v. City of Kansas City, 241 F.3d 997, 999 (8th Cir. 2001). The order was entered by the District Court on February 14, 2003, and the notice of appeal was filed on February 26, 2003.
