213422P.pdf   12/19/2022  Felicia Stone  v.  J & M Securities, LLC
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3422
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil procedure. Felicia has not been appointed as a fiduciary or personal representative of her husband's estate, and her motion to be substituted for him is denied; where plaintiffs filed the notice of appeal after the district court entered judgment, but before the district court ruled on a pending Rule 59(e) motion, the notice of appeal did not become effective until the district court ruled on the motion, and the notice of appeal did not deprive the district court of jurisdiction to rule on the Rule 59(e) motion and to remand the case to state court; once the district court remanded the matter to state court, it lacked jurisdiction to review its order; the district court mistakenly vacated its amended judgment and should not have reinstated its original judgment dismissing the complaint with prejudice; remanded to the district court with instructions to reinstate the amended judgment as to Felicia's claims and to return the case to the Missouri state court.
