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


1
Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss this appeal contending that this Court lacks jurisdiction.  We have previously denied appellants' petition to take an interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292.  Therefore, jurisdiction, if it exists, must be pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291.


2
Under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, this Court has jurisdiction over appeals from final orders of United States district courts.  A final order disposes of all issues in dispute as to all parties.  "Federal appellate jurisdiction generally depends on the existence of a decision by the District Court that 'ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment.' "   Coopers & Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U.S. 463, 467 (1978) (quoting Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945)).  A review of the district court's order of December 31, 1986 clearly indicates that it does not dispose of the individual claims of Linton Beasley.  Since the order does not dispose of the entire litigation, it is not final and, therefore, may not be appealed pursuant to Sec. 1291.


3
Because the district court's order did dispose of some of the parties' claims in their entirety, immediate appeal of these claims could have been achieved through the vehicle of Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) certification.  However, the district court denied appellants' motion for Rule 54(b) certification of its December 31 order.  In the absence of such certification, none of the claims of any of the parties is appealable.   Robinson v. Parke-Davis and Co., 685 F.2d 912 (4th Cir.1982).


4
Finding no basis for appellate jurisdiction, we grant appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal.  We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.


5
DISMISSED.
