    Hisham FRANCIS, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. EQUILON ENTERPRISES, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 01-55079. D.C. No. CV-99-01196-WFN.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Feb. 6, 2002 .
    Decided Feb. 12, 2002.
    Before PREGERSON, RYMER and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   ORDER

The parties disagree regarding whether the district court amended the complaint to add two party plaintiffs, Francis & Sons Enterprises, Inc. (FSEI) and Francis & Sons Oil II, LLC (Oil II), or whether the district court merely allowed an amendment to the pleadings, alleging an assignment of interests by FSEI and Oil II to Hisham Francis. Because resolution of this issue will have a substantial effect on appeal, and because it must be resolved by the district court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 10(e)(1), we remand to allow the district court to settle the difference and conform the record (including the judgment, if necessary) accordingly.

REMANDED.
