                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of Mississippi
                             USDC No. 3:15-CV-151


Before DAVIS, COSTA, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The judgment appealed from did not dispose of all of the claims made by
the plaintiff in this suit. The judgment that was entered only dismissed the

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

district court’s judgment did not dispose of all of the claims in this suit, it does
not constitute a final judgment. 1 We therefore have no jurisdiction over this
appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
