No. 90-6043.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Oct. 2, 1990.

Before KEITH and RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judges, and LIVELY, Senior Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

2
Review of the record discloses that appellant filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.  On July 13, 1990, however, a magistrate for the district court dismissed that action pursuant to a settlement agreement executed by the parties.  Appellant then filed this appeal.

3
This court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal.  Parties who have consented to the entry of a judgment dismissing a cause of action pursuant to a settlement agreement generally have no status to take an appeal from that action.   White v. Commissioner, 776 F.2d 976, 977-78 (11th Cir.1985) (per curiam).

4
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be and hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
