                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 6:10-CV-296



Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, Antwon Parker, Texas prisoner
# 1311517, appeals from the dismissal of five of the nine defendants to his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 civil-rights action. Our jurisdiction is limited to appeals from
“final decisions of the district courts”. 28 U.S.C. § 1291. “[A]ny decision that
adjudicates the liability of fewer than all the parties does not terminate the
action unless the district court (1) expressly determines that there is no just

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

reason for delay and (2) expressly directs the entry of judgment”. Thompson v.
Betts, 754 F.2d 1243, 1245 (5th Cir. 1985) (citing FED. R. CIV. P. 54(b)).
      The district court’s order did not dispose of Parker’s claims against all
defendants and did not provide for an appeal under Rule 54(b). Accordingly,
that order is not a final judgment; and, therefore, our court lacks jurisdiction to
consider the instant appeal.
      DISMISSED.
