This matter is before the court upon consideration of the appellees' motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction on the basis that an order denying a motion for partial summary judgment is not appealable.  Appellant has responded.

2
A review of the record indicates that the district court denied appellant's motion for partial summary judgment by order entered on November 3, 1987.  Appellant appealed on November 19, 1987, from the November 3, 1987 order.
