Before MURPHY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Gary Graham appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing two defendants in
this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Because the order allowed process to be served upon
the third defendant, the order is not final under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we lack
jurisdiction to review it at this time. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (courts of appeals have
jurisdiction over appeals from final decisions of district courts); Bullock v. Baptist


      1
       The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, United States District Judge for the
District of Nebraska.
Mem’l Hosp., 
817 F.2d 58
, 59 (8th Cir. 1987) (order dismissing complaint as to fewer
than all defendants is not final order within meaning of § 1291).

      We deny as moot his pending motion.

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as premature.
                     ______________________________
