Unpublished Dispositionedward Nathaniel Carlton, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Ralph Page, Sgt.; Ozell Nelson; Vanessa Lowder, Also Knownas Louder; John Doe, Defendants-appellees, 902 F.2d 32 (6th Cir. 1990)

ORDER

This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

A review of the record indicates that the district court filed on February 28, 1990, an order dismissing the complaint as to defendants Page and Louder. The action remains pending as to defendant Nelson. The plaintiff appealed from the February 28, 1990, order.

Absent Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification, an order disposing of fewer than all the claims or parties involved in the action is not appealable. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 742-45 (1976); Solomon v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 782 F.2d 58, 59-60 (6th Cir. 1986). No Rule 54(b) certification was made in the instant case. The final decision of the district court has not been entered during the pendency of this appeal; therefore, this court lacks jurisdiction. See Gillis v. Department of HHS, 759 F.2d 565, 569 (6th Cir. 1985).

It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(b) (1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
