Rodney B. Shields, on Behalf of Himself and All Otherssimilarly Situated; James H. Moffett v. Washington Bancorporation; John M. Toups; Luther H.hodges, Jr.; Robert B. Washington, Jr.; Wafic R. Said;john J. Mason, Appellant, 25 F.3d 1115 (D.C. Cir. 1994)

Upon consideration of the motion to dismiss appeal as premature, the opposition thereto and the reply, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss be granted. Appellant challenges only that part of the district court's order, filed December 6, 1993, that imposed sanctions upon appellant in the form of attorneys' fees and expenses. Because the district court has not fixed the amount of those fees and expenses, its order is not final and appealable. See Crowley v. Schultz, 704 F.2d 1269, 1271-72 (D.C. Cir. 1983).

The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
