Before EMILIO M. GARZA., STEWART, and PARKER: Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

        Before the court is the motion filed by the appellees to dismiss the appeal filed by Louisiana

prisoner Davison Oloson for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the

parties on the issue and GRANT the appellees motion to dismiss. The district court’s certification

of its partial judgment as appealable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) must be followed by an

application in this court for permission to appeal the nonfinal judgment within ten days of the district

court’s § 1292(b) certification. See § 1292(b); Fed. R. App. P. 5(a); Aparicio v. Swan Lake, 

, 1111 (5th Cir. 1981). “Failure to file an application for permission to appeal from an

interlocutory order . . . within the ten-day period prescribed by 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) and Rule 5(a),

Fed. R. App. P., is a jurisdictional defect that deprives the appellate court of power to entertain the

appeal.” 

.

        Because Oloson failed to file an appeal following the district court’s § 1292(b) certification,

this court is without jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal. See 

motion is

GRANTED and this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Oloson can request that the

district court reenter the order as certified; a new ten-day period is triggered by such reentry. See

        MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.




        *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
