DISMISSED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, SPROUSE and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Judgemnt in this action was entered on November 1, 1990.  On November 9, plaintiff/appellant Anthony J. Rankine filed a motion for reconsideration pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59.  Before the district court acted on the Rule 59 motion, Rankine filed a notice of appeal on November 27.  Because a notice of appeal filed before a district court decides a timely Rule 59 motion has no effect, we are without jurisdiction to consider the appeal.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4).    Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56 (1982).


2
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.


3
DISMISSED.
