MEMORANDUM**

2
Dr. Joel Ellington, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal, with leave to amend, of his civil rights complaint.   We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

3
A district court order dismissing a complaint with leave to amend is not a final appealable order.   Hoohuli v. Ariyoshi, 741 F.2d 1169, 1171 n. 1 (9th Cir.1984);   Proud v. United States, 704 F.2d 1099, 1100 (9th Cir.1983) (per curiam).

4
Here, Ellington filed a complaint against a Nevada state court judge, the governor of Nevada, the Nevada attorney general, and the Nevada public defender's office alleging they conspired to deprive Ellington of his constitutional rights in his state court criminal trial.   The district court granted Ellington forma pauperis status but dismissed Ellington's complaint with leave to amend because it did not comply with the local rules.   The district court granted Ellington 20 days leave to amend or to seek a waiver under the local rules.   Ellington appealed the district court order.

5
The district court's order is not appealable.  See Proud, 704 F.2d at 1100.   Accordingly, we dismiss Ellington's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

6
DISMISSED.
