Norman Treddenbarger, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Yakima County; Robert S. Young; Cheryl Rabger; Robert T.reynods; Ladonna Page, Defendants-appellees, 15 F.3d 1090 (9th Cir. 1994)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Norman Treddenbarger, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal, prior to service of process, of several claims in Treddenbarger's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

Here, Treddenbarger filed a complaint against numerous defendants alleging that they: (1) conspired to violate his constitutional rights by depriving him of custody of his daughter; (2) used unreasonable force in his arrest; and (3) deprived him of personal property without just compensation. The district court granted Treddenbarger in forma pauperis status, dismissed Treddenbarger's claims regarding the custody of his daughter, and directed Treddenbarger to amend his complaint with respect to the remaining claims. Treddenbarger appeals.

Sinc of all claims against all parties, there is no "final order" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Ethridge v. Harbor House Restaurant, 861 F.2d 1389, 1402 (9th Cir. 1988) ("If a district court's order does not dispose of all claims against all parties, there is no 'final order' within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291."). Because there is no final appealable order for us to review, we must dismiss for want of appellate jurisdiction. See Proud v. United States, 704 F.2d 1099, 1100 (9th Cir. 1983).

DISMISSED.
