What is Appeal Dismissed: False Arrest Case about?

Irvin Lee Smith brought a civil action against several New Mexico law enforcement officials alleging damages from false arrest and imprisonment. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim. Smith appealed this decision. However, the appeals court found that it lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because the district court had dismissed the complaint, not the entire action, so there was no final judgment. As such, the appeals court dismissed the appeal.
