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

PER CURIAM:*

     Darris D. Teel, Texas state prisoner #656908, appeals from

an order of the magistrate judge dismissing certain claims and

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 October

23, 1998, order in accordance with Rule 54(b).   This court is

therefore without jurisdiction.   Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.
