                         Pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)

                Before: McKEE, FUENTES, JORDAN, Circuit Judges,


                               (Filed: August 22, 2008 )




                              OPINION OF THE COURT




McKee, Circuit Judge.

      Frank Acierno appeals the district court’s September 27, 2006 order vacating a

prior order terminating a consent decree. The September 27 order was entered pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). For the reasons that follow, we conclude that we do not have

jurisdiction, and the appeal is dismissed.

       “When an order granting a Rule 60(b) motion merely vacates the judgment and

leaves the case pending for further determination, the order . . . is interlocutory and

nonappealable.” National Passenger Railroad Corp. v. Maylie, 

, 1183 (3d

Cir. 1990).
