Head Matter:
Gary Eugene GRAHAM, Appellant, v. FALLS CITY PROSECUTOR; Maria Moran, Prosecutor; Falls City Sheriffs Department, Appellees.
No. 04-1043.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted Oct. 19, 2004.
Decided Oct. 26, 2004.
Gary Eugene Graham, Petersburg, VA, pro se.
Before MURPHY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Gary Graham appeals the district court's 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 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.
. The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
