Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Pat Shelby Todd, Jr. appeals the district court’s award of

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
                          No. 02-31201
                               -2-

the final judgment is not appealable because it did not reduce

the award to a sum certain.   See Southern Travel Club, Inc. v.

Carnival Air Lines, Inc., 986 F.2d 125, 131 (5th Cir. 1993).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.
