ORDER

1
The plaintiff appeals an order granting summary judgment to the defendant and dismissing her complaint in this action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  A review of the district court's docket sheet indicates that at the time the notice of appeal was filed, a timely motion to alter or amend the judgment was pending.  A notice of appeal filed before the disposition of such a motion is of no effect.  Rule 4(a)(4), Fed.R.App.P.  Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction in this appeal.    Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56 (1982) (per curiam).

2
It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed sua sponte without prejudice to the plaintiff's right to timely appeal from entry of a final order.  Rule 9(b)(1), Local Rules.
