ORDER

2
The plaintiff appeals from an order granting partial summary judgment in favor of six (6) defendants and from the denial of a Rule 59(e) motion for reconsideration.  The remaining defendants have filed a notice of cross-appeal.

3
The record shows that summary judgment was granted in favor of defendants Angel, Bean, Dotson, Evatt, King and the City of Chattanooga.  Four (4) defendants remain.  Both plaintiff and the remaining defendants moved in district court for certification to appeal to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(b).  The district court denied both motions.

4
Absent certification for an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(b) or Rule 54(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, an order disposing of fewer than all the parties or claims in an action is nonappealable.   William B. Tanner Co. v. United States, 575 F.2d 101 (6th Cir.1978) (per curiam);  Oak Const. Co. v. Huron Cement Co., 475 F.2d 1220 (6th Cir.1973) (per curiam).
