No. 90-3847.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Nov. 20, 1990.

Before KRUPANSKY, RALPH B. GUY, JR. and SUHRHEINRICH, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

1
The plaintiff appeals judgment for the defendant entered following a jury trial in this action for age discrimination.  The district court's docket sheet indicates that judgment was entered on August 13, 1990.  On August 23, 1990, the plaintiff filed a motion for a new trial.  While that motion was pending, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal.  An order to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as premature was entered on October 15, 1990.  No response has been received.


2
If a timely motion for new trial is filed in the district court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59, the time for appeal shall run from the entry of the order denying a new trial.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4).  A notice of appeal filed before the disposition of such a motion shall have no effect.  Id.;  see also Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56 (1982) (per curiam).  A new notice of appeal must be filed within the prescribed time measured from the entry of the order disposing of the motion.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4).


3
It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction without prejudice to the perfection of a timely appeal should the plaintiff's motion be denied.  Rule 9(b)(1), Local Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
