ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

No. 87-2281 

(D.C. No. 86-409-C) 

(E.D. Okla.) 

Before TACHA, BALDOCK, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

This is an appeal from three minute orders entered by the 

district court on July 22, 1987, granting several motions of 

defendants to assess attorney's fees against plaintiff's attorney 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(f). The notice of appeal was filed 

on August 21, 1987. The orders appealed from did not set out the 

amount of attorney's fees to be awarded in favor of each of the 

several defendants. It further appears that the district court 

subsequently entered fee awards in amounts certain in favor of 

some, but not all, defendants. 

Under the circumstances, we conclude that the notice of 

appeal is premature. Phelps v. Washburn Univ. of Topeka, 807 F.2d 

153 (10th Cir. 1986). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for 

lack of jurisdiction. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
