1981 U.S. App. LEXIS 17050
Barney W. Johnson v. James Webb, Gordon W. Smith, Individually and D/B/A Smitty's Speakeasy Pool Hall

The district court having declined to enter an amended Rule 54(b) certificate on the remand earlier ordered, and the present certificate being insufficient to confer jurisdiction upon us, 1 we DISMISS the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED.

. Although the certificate contains one of the determinations required by Rule 54(b), Fed.R. Civ.P., “an express direction for entry of judgment,” it does not contain the required “express determination that there is no just reason for delay.” See M.O.N.T. Boat Rental v. Union Oil Co., 613 F.2d 576, 581 n.12 (5th Cir. 1980).
