ORDER

2
On June 2, 1995, plaintiffs-Appellants Bernard Fidel and Joel Binder (collectively "Fidel") requested that the district court sign and enter a proposed form of interlocutory order memorializing the court's October 7, 1991 denial of their motion to intervene in  Glavris v. Young, No. 90-6185 (C.D.Cal. filed Nov. 16, 1990).d  On June 21, 1995, the district court denied Fidel's request and, therefore, never signed or entered the proposed order.  Fidel appeals from that denial.

3
We dismiss Fidel's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  A district court's denial of a motion to enter final judgment is not appealable.   See Steccone v. Morse-Starrett Prods.  Co., 191 F.2d 197, 199 (9th Cir.1951).

 Honorable Jane A. Restani, Judge, United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation
