PER CURIAM.

Gary Graham appeals the district court’s1

 order dismissing two defendants in

this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Because the order allowed process to be served upon

the third defendant, the order is not final under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we lack

jurisdiction to review it at this time. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (courts of appeals have

jurisdiction over appeals from final decisions of district courts); Bullock v. Baptist

-2-

Mem’l Hosp., 817 F.2d 58, 59 (8th Cir. 1987) (order dismissing complaint as to fewer

than all defendants is not final order within meaning of § 1291).

We deny as moot his pending motion.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as premature.
