    James GREEN, Plaintiff,
    Abdul Al-Bari, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    Corporal Larry WARD, Nurse Betsy Barr, Otie Jones, James
    Worthington, Unknown D-Unit 1st Shift Officers,
    Defendants-Appellees.

    No. 90-5046.

    United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

    July 30, 1990.

    Before KRUPANSKY and BOGGS, Circuit Judges, and CELEBREZZE, Senior Circuit Judge.

    ORDER

    1

    This matter is before the court upon consideration of the appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal and the response of the appellant.

    2

    A review of the record indicates that Green and Al-Bari filed a 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 prisoner civil rights complaint. By order entered November 8, 1989, the district court dismissed the claims of Al-Bari and dismissed Jones and Worthington as defendants. Al-Bari appealed from that order.

    3

    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); Solomon 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. See Gillis v. United States Dep't of HHS, 759 F.2d 565, 569 (6th Cir.1985).

    4

    It is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss be granted and the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 8, Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
