No. 87-6223.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted Feb. 1, 1988.Decided Feb. 24, 1988.
Before WALLACE, ALARCON and BEEZER, Circuit Judges.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellants, whoever they are, appeal the district court's finding of Musler in civil contempt, and award of sanctions against the law firm of Abrams & Goldstein. They also argue that Abrams & Goldstein were improperly ordered to have their deposition taken to inquire about the location of Musler. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a) (1) and 4(a) (6) require an entry of a judgment or order before an appeal may be taken. An entry in the district court docketing sheet indicates the ruling by the district court and directs Davis to prepare an order. The docket sheet does not contain an entry that one was filed. Davis's attorney stated to us that none had been submitted to the district court.
Appellants have filed a notice of appeal from an order which does not exist. We have no jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
