ORDER

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PETITION OF EDWARD P. REDDECK:

CR 77-863-R

ORDER DENYING WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS

The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Writ of Error Coram Nobis and will deem that pages 36-38 as a motion for the recusal of Chief Judge Real. The Court finds that there is neither a legal nor factual basis for Petitioner's motion and, thus, the motion to disqualify Chief Judge Real is DENIED.

 DATED: Oct. 16, 1991 -------- /s/Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr. --------Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr. --------United States District Judge

The body of this order neither grants nor denies the writ of error coram nobis.

Reddeck's notice of appeal reads as follows:

United States District Court

Central District of California

File Number is 77-863-R

Petition of Edward P. Reddeck:

NOTICE OF APPEAL AS OF RIGHT

Notice is hereby given that Petitioner, Edward P. Reddeck, hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the Order Denying motion to disqualify and recluse [sic] Chief Judge Real entered in this action on the 16 of October 1991.

Dated this 25 day of October, 1991

/s/ Edward Reddeck

Edward P. Reddeck

We do not have jurisdiction over this appeal. The denial of a motion to disqualify is not a final, appealable order. United States v. State of Washington, 573 F.2d 1121, 1122 (9th Cir. 1978). Since the district court's ruling on the motion was not a final order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 nor an order certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), this appeal is

DISMISSED.
