            Appeal from the United States District Court
              For the Northern District of Mississippi
                          (3:00-CV-58-B-A)

                           March 16, 2001

Before DAVIS, JONES and DeMOSS Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Vinson challenges the district court’s order denying his

motion to remand.   The denial of a motion to remand is not a final,

appealable order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.      Aaron v. National Union

Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburg, Pa., 876 F.2d 1157, 1160 (5th Cir.

1989). Thus, we must dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

     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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
