PER CURIAM:


1
Fasih Q. Zaman, M.D., brought this 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action alleging that his right to procedural due process was violated in the revocation of his staff privileges at Cherokee County Memorial Hospital in Cherokee County, South Carolina.  On September 29, 1986, the district court denied Zaman's motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability pursuant to Fed.  R. Civ. P. 56.  On December 15, 1986, the district court denied Zaman's motion for reconsideration of that portion of the September 29 order denying him partial summary judgment.  Zaman seeks to appeal the September 29 order denying partial summary judgment and the December 15 order denying reconsideration.


2
We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  Neither the denial of partial summary judgment nor the denial of the motion for reconsideration is a final order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291.  See Glaros v. H. H. Robertson Co., 797 F.2d 1564, 1573 (Fed.  Cir. 1986), cert. dismissed, ---- U.S. ----, 107 S.Ct. 1262 (1987); Dilly v. S.S. Kresge, 606 F.2d 62 (4th Cir. 1979).  No Fed.  R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification was made in this case.  The orders also are not appealable under the exceptions of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292, and they should not be treated as final and appealable under Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).


3
We decline to exercise pendent jurisdiction to review the claims raised by Zaman on appeal.  The issue of immunity is a purely legal one, separate from the merits of Zaman's claim that his due process rights have been violated, and his claim that he is entitled to summary judgment on the issue of liability, without proof of actual damages.  See Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 528-29 (1985).


4
As the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and dismiss the appeal.


5
DISMISSED.
