Before BEAM, HANSEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.


     Charles Gordon Long brought this action against a physician and four
state officials, claiming constitutional and state law violations, after
his prescription pain medication was withheld from him during his pretrial
detention at a state correctional
facility.   The four state officials moved for summary judgment, the
district court1 granted the motion, and Long appeals.


     The order granting summary judgment to four of the five
defendants was not a final, appealable order, and we therefore lack
jurisdiction over this appeal.   See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; Fed. R. Civ.
P. 54(b).    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.


     A true copy.

       1
       The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, United States District
Judge for the District of Minnesota.
