Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 848 F.2d 190 (6th Cir. 1988) June 3, 1988

Before ENGEL, Chief Judge and DAVID A. NELSON and RYAN, Circuit Judges.


ORDER

This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

A review of the record indicates that on March 22, 1988, the district court dismissed four of the defendants and directed that process issue as to the remaining defendants. Summonses were served on the remaining defendants on March 29, 1988. Appellant appealed on March 30, 1988, from the March 22, 1988, order.

This court lacks jurisdiction in the appeal. Absent a Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification, an order disposing of fewer than all the claims or parties is not appealable. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 744 (1976); Solomon v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 782 F.2d 58, 59 (6th Cir. 1986). No 54(b) certification was made in the instant appeal. The final decision of the district court has not been entered during the pendency of this appeal; therefore, this court lacks jurisdiction. See Gillis v. Department of HHS, 759 F.2d 565 (6th Cir. 1985).

It is ORDERED that the appeal be and it hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(b) (1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
