APPEAL DISMISSED.

Before MILBURN and BOGGS, Circuit Judges, and GILMORE, District Judge*.

ORDER

3
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.


4
A review of the documents before the court indicates that appellant appealed from orders ruling on pre-trial motions and requests for admissions.  The numerous pre-trial motions are predominantly motions to dismiss the indictment.


5
This court lacks jurisdiction in this appeal.  In a criminal case, it is the imposition of sentence which is the final judgment for purposes of an appeal.    Midland Asphalt Corp. v. United States, 489 U.S. 794, 798 (1989);  Flanagan v. United States, 465 U.S. 259, 263 (1984).  The denial of a motion to dismiss an indictment is generally not appealable.    United States v. Hollywood Motor Car Co., 458 U.S. 263, 264 (1982) (per curiam);  United States v. Banks, 682 F.2d 841, 844-45 (9th Cir.1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1117 (1983);  United States v. Gregory, 656 F.2d 1132, 1134-35 (5th Cir.1981).  No final and/or appealable order has been entered.


6
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
