                           June 17, 1999

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
                           No. 98-30742
                                -2-

     On June 11, 1998, the magistrate judge entered an order

granting the motion for summary judgment filed by 13 of the

above-captioned defendants.    Several other defendants did not

join the summary-judgment motion.

     When an action involves multiple parties or multiple claims,

any decision that adjudicates the liability of fewer than all the

parties or disposes of fewer than all the claims does not

terminate the litigation and is not appealable unless certified

under FED. R. CIV. P. 54(b).   See Thompson v. Betts, 754 F.2d

1243, 1245 (5th Cir. 1985).    The magistrate judge has not

certified the June 11, 1998, order in accordance with Rule 54(b).

Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.




except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
