United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
5/5/86

APPEAL DISMISSED
N.D.Ohio
ORDER
BEFORE:  ENGEL, CONTIE and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.

1
Plaintiff-appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his motion for summary judgment in this employment discrimination case.  The case is before the court sua sponte for consideration of a possible jurisdictional defect.

2
The general rule is that denial of a motion for summary judgment is not appealable.  Ardoin v. J. Ray McDermott & Co., 641 F.2d 277, 278-79 (5th Cir. 1981).  Here the district court denied Wrenn's motion because there were genuine issues of fact that must be tried.  So Wrenn has appealed from an interlocutory, nonappealable order.

3
Because the order is nonappealable, this appeal is dismissed sua sponte under Rule 9(d)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit, for lack of jurisdiction.
