           Laroy James Tindle, Texas prisoner # 1966673 or 21446891, appeals
   the district court’s order dismissing his claims against appellees Blair, Page,
   Shrode, the other defendants, and striking his motion for a preliminary
   injunction in this civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district
   court’s order did not dispose of all of Tindle’s § 1983 claims because some
   claims remain against Dr. Shrode. The district court did not certify the order
   as a final judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) or as
   appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). The district court’s interlocutory
   order is not appealable under § 1292(a)(1) because the district court did not
   deny Tindle’s motion for a temporary restraining order or preliminary
   injunction on the merits but ordered it stricken because Tindle did not sign
   the motion. Because there is no final and appealable judgment, the appeal is
   DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981
   F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993).

   last page he wrote # 1966673.
