No. 91-4069.
United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

Before STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, TACHA and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
BRORBY, Circuit Judge.

1
After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material assistance in the determination of this appeal.   See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  10th Cir.R. 34.1.9.   The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

2
Mr. Pendergrass is a state inmate.   He filed a pro se complaint setting forth several disciplinary actions taken against him by prison officials and basically alleged denial of due process.   The matter was referred to a magistrate judge who concluded the suit should be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

3
The trial court dismissed the suit under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) as to two of the defendants and allowed Mr. Pendergrass twenty days to file an amended complaint against the third defendant.   It is this order that Mr. Pendergrass appeals pro se.

4
The order appealed is not a final order and we therefore have no jurisdiction.   See Grandbouche v. Clancy, 825 F.2d 1463, 1468 (10th Cir.1987);   Adult Film Ass'n of America, Inc. v. Thetford, 776 F.2d 113 (5th Cir.1985).

5
The appeal is DISMISSED.   The mandate shall issue forthwith.
