• “The second count of the amended third-party complaint, seeking common-law indemnification, represented merely an alternate legal theory for a recovery identical to that sought by Count One.”
• “Ordinarily . . . an order adjudicating fewer than all the claims in a suit . . . is not a final judgment from which an appeal may be taken.”
• “We have interpreted the first prong of Rule 54(b) to require that a judgment ‘disposes entirely of a separate claim or dismisses a party entirely’ in order to be considered ‘final’”
• “Ordinarily . . . an order adjudicating fewer than all the claims in a suit, or adjudicating the rights and liabilities than fewer than all the parties, is not a final judgment from which an appeal may be taken.”
