Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Robert Anthony Hubbard, former Mississippi prisoner # 109084, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Kemper Neshoba Regional Correctional Facility and officers employed by the facility alleging claims of excessive force and deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. The district court dismissed his claims against the facility for failure to state a claim. The claims against defendant Walker were dismissed for failure to effect service of process. Defendants Smoot and Seitz were granted judgment as a matter of law during a jury trial proceeding. The jury returned a verdict in favor of defendants Rudolph, Crockett, and Foster. Hubbard appeals.
"This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion, if necessary." Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir.1987). Hubbard's claims against Captain Donald remain pending in the district court. Though the defendants filed a suggestion of death and Hubbard failed to move to substitute, the district court did not enter a judgment of dismissal as to the claims against Donald. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 25(a). We therefore lack jurisdiction over Hubbard's appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 1292(a),(b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Martin v. Halliburton, 618 F.3d 476, 481 (5th Cir.2010).
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and. is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
