Opinion
Byther Mae Williams purports to appeal an adverse district court decision in her bankruptcy proceeding against Regency Financial Corp. Regency contends the appeal is untimely, and requests dismissal. Upon careful review of the record, we observe that the district court never entered a separate judgment, as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58. Accordingly, the appeal is premature, we are without appellate jurisdiction, and we dismiss without prejudice to the taking of an appeal once the district court enters judgment on a separate document. See Moore v. St. Louis Music Supply Co., 526 F.2d 801, 802 (8th Cir.1975).
