OPINION

1
Johnathan Lee X appeals from the district court's orders denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988).  His first notice of appeal, which gave rise to the appeal in 91-7596, was filed prior to the district court's final order.  Further, the order X appealed was not an appealable non-final order, 28 U.S.C. § 1292, nor was it an appealable collateral order,  Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  Therefore, this Court does not have jurisdiction over the appeal.  28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988).  We dismiss that appeal as interlocutory.

2
Our review of the record and the district court's opinion in 926615, which was filed after the district court entered the final order in the action, discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  X v. Hampton, No. CA-89-432-N (E.D. Va.  July 11, 1991).  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
