Highlight

A certification under N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(b) should not be routinely granted and is reserved for cases involving unusual circumstances where failure to allow an immediate appeal would create a demonstrated prejudice or hardship.

A district court should articulate in writing the reasons supporting its decision to grant certification under N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(b).
