Ricky Emanuel Selby, Plaintiff Appellant, v. Edward Murray, Director of D.o.c.; Hopson, Lpn; Wardenwright; Warden Bass; Harold Underwood; Sergeant Mayes;c/o Powell-bracey; Sergeant Freeman; Marshall, Assoc.med. Dir.; C/o Dozier; Sgt. Johnson; Counselor Cosely;c/o Walker; Captain Givens; Lieutenant Hawkins;lieutenant Tuell; Sergeant Smith, Defendants Appellees, 39 F.3d 1178 (4th Cir. 1994)

Appellant noted this appeal from the district court's judgment before the court disposed of a then-pending motion to alter or amend that judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60 which Appellant served within ten days of the court's final order. A notice of appeal filed before disposition of such a motion is without effect until disposition of that motion. Fed. R. App. P. 4(F). Appellate review of an order disposing of the motion requires that the party amend the previously filed notice of appeal within the time prescribed by Fed. R. App. P. 4 measured from the entry of the order disposing of the motion. Id. The judgment appealed from was vacated by the district court when it granted Appellant's motion for reconsideration and further reduced the filing fee. Selby failed to amend his previously filed notice of appeal to incorporate that order. Under these circumstances, we lack jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we deny Appellant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. 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.

DISMISSED.
