Per Curiam. As the record indicates, at the time the ___________
instant case was filed in federal district court no judgment
had yet entered in state court on the counterclaim of
defendants/appellees. Since all claims had not been
adjudicated, plaintiff/appellant had no right at that time to
appeal the judgment dismissing his action. See Litton ___ ______
Business Telephone Systems, Inc. v. Schwartz, 9 Mass. App. ________________________________ ________
Ct. 865, 865, 400 N.E.2d 281, 281 (1979) (dismissing appeal
"because the judgment entered . . . does not dispose of the
counterclaim"). Consequently, he suffered no injury from the
alleged failure of the state court to assemble his record for
appeal.
Affirmed. ________
