Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 122 F.3d 1071 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted August 25, 1997. **Decided Aug. 29, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, No. CV-95-03963-MMC/OEW; Maxine M. Chesney, District Judge, Presiding.

Before: SCHROEDER, FERNANDEZ, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM* 

Eugene Hamilton, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his medical needs and retaliatory disciplinary charges for previously filing grievances and complaints against prison officials. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

We have jurisdiction only over final orders of the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Without a Rule 54(b) certification, orders dismissing some but not all of the claims are not final orders appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Frank Briscoe Co. v. Morrison-Knudsen Co., 776 F.2d 1414, 1416 (9th Cir. 1985). Here, the district court only granted summary judgment on Hamilton's retaliation claim without addressing his deliberate indifference claim. A review of the record shows that there is no Rule 54(b) certification.

Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider the appeal. See Frank Briscoe Co., 776 F.2d at 1416.

DISMISSED.
