US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 944 F.2d 904 (6th Cir. 1991) Sept. 12, 1991

Before RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judge, JOHN W. PECK, Senior Circuit Judge, and SILER, Chief District Judge.* 

ORDER

This matter is before the court for the plaintiff's response to this court's order of May 22, 1991, directing the plaintiff to show cause why her appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The plaintiff responded on June 4, 1991, and indicated that she had filed a petition in the district court for certification pursuant to Rule 54(b), Fed. R. Civ. P. On June 11, 1991, the district court entered an order denying the plaintiff's motion. Absent certification for an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. 1292(b) or Rule 54(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., an order disposing of fewer than all parties or claims in an action is nonappealable. William B. Tanner Co. v. United States, 575 F.2d 101, 102 (6th Cir. 1978) (per curiam).

It is therefore ORDERED that the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed sua sponte for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(b) (1), Local Rules of the Sixth Circuit

The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Jr., Chief U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Kentucky, sitting by designation
