C. Fred Bateman, Chesapeake School Board, Defendants-appellees, 888 F.2d 1385 (4th Cir. 1989)

In No. 88-6862, Neil Abramson seeks to appeal from an order of the district court which denied his motion to disqualify the judge after he submitted an affidavit under 28 U.S.C. § 144 alleging bias. The order is not a final order, and as such is not appealable until after final judgment is entered. United States v. Nehas, 368 F. Supp. 435 (W.D. Pa. 1973); United States v. Zagari, 419 F. Supp. 494 (N.D. Cal. 1976). Finding no basis for jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.

In No. 89-1724, Abramson appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.^*  Abramson v. Bateman, C/A No. 88-476-N (E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 1989). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

No. 88-6862--DISMISSED.

No. 89-1724--AFFIRMED.
