Ronald James Reed, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Fred Abdalla, Sheriff, Defendant,jefferson County Commissioners; Albert Olexia; Charlesklasic; Edward Swiger, Defendants-appellees, 953 F.2d 1384 (6th Cir. 1992)
Annotate this CaseBefore NATHANIEL R. JONES and DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judges; and LIVELY, Senior Circuit Judge.
ORDER
This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
A review of the documents before the court indicates that the district court entered an order on August 8, 1991, granting a motion to dismiss filed by the defendant Jefferson County Commissioners. Plaintiff has appealed from that order.
Absent Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification, an order disposing of fewer than all of the claims or parties involved in an action is not immediately appealable. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 742-45 (1976). Here, no Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification was issued. The district court has not entered a final and appealable judgment 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).
Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 8(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
