Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Greenbelt. Catherine C. Blake, District Judge. (CA-
00-3463-CCB)


Submitted:   June 26, 2002              Decided:   August 22, 2002


Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


David M. Melnick, Rockville, Maryland, for Appellant.     Sean D.
Wallace, County Attorney, John A. Bielec, Deputy County Attorney,
Laura J. Gwinn, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

                                2
PER CURIAM:

     James A. Talley appeals the district court’s orders granting

partial summary judgment to Defendants and denying Talley’s motions

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) and for leave to file a second amended

complaint in this employment discrimination action.     Our review

discloses that Talley voluntarily dismissed without prejudice the

remaining claims in his suit pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)

prior to noting his appeal of the district court’s orders. Because

Talley failed to obtain a certification to appeal under Fed. R.

Civ. P. 54(b), we find that we are without jurisdiction over this

appeal.   See Mesa v. United States, 
61 F.3d 20
, 21-22 (11th Cir.

1995).

     We accordingly dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
