UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

SOLOMON BEN-TOV COHEN,

 Plaintiff - Appellant, 

v. 

FRED BUSCH, Agent, US Capitol Police, 

 Defendant - Appellee.

 No. 10-1076

 (D.C. No. 1:08-CV-02188-LTB-CBS)

ORDER

Before KELLY, HARTZ, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

Solomon Cohen, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s March 12, 2010 Order

denying his request for certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). We dismiss the appeal for

lack of jurisdiction. 

The district court order denying Plaintiff Cohen’s Rule 54(b) certification does not

constitute a final or immediately appealable decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 or under any

recognized exception to the final judgment rule. See McCall v. Deeds, 849 F.2d 1259, 1259

(9th Cir. 1988) (district court order denying Rule 54(b) certification is not appealable);

Makuc v. American Honda Motor Co., 692 F.2d 172, 174 (1th Cir. 1982) (same).

Appellee-Defendant’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The appeal is DISMISSED

for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
