              Defendants - Appellees

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of Mississippi
                             USDC No. 3:15-CV-151

Before DAVIS, COSTA, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The judgment appealed from did not dispose of all of the claims made by
the plaintiff in this suit. The judgment that was entered only dismissed the

                                        No. 17-60190
district court’s judgment did not dispose of all of the claims in this suit, it does
not constitute a final judgment. 1 We therefore have no jurisdiction over this
appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
