No. 90-3528.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Aug. 27, 1990.

1
Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judges, and SILER, Chief District Judge*

ORDER

2
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

3
A review of the record indicates that an order was entered May 18, 1990, dismissing defendant Saunders and denying a motion for summary judgment as to defendant Glenn.  Plaintiff appealed from that order on June 6, 1990.

4
Absent a Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) certification, an order disposing of fewer than all the claims or parties involved in the action is not appealable.   Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 742-45 (1976);  iSolomon v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 782 F.2d 58, 59-60 (6th Cir.1986).  No Rule 54(b) certification was made in the instant case.  The final decision of the district court has not been entered during the pendency of this appeal;  therefore, this court lacks jurisdiction as to the partial dismissal.    See Gillis v. United States Dep't of HHS, 759 F.2d 565, 569 (6th Cir.1985).

5
It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
