PER CURIAM:*

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

No. 98-20433 -2- On March 5, 1998, the district court entered an order granting the motion for summary judgment filed by Harris County, Johnny Klevenhagen, Tommy B. Thomas, and C.N. Wedemeyer, Jr., and denying in part and granting in part the motion for summary judgment filed by Rocky Barr.

When an action involves multiple parties or multiple claims, any decision that adjudicates the liability of fewer than all the parties or disposes of fewer than all the claims does not terminate the litigation and is not appealable unless certified under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). See Thompson v. Betts, 754 F.2d 1243, 1245 (5th Cir. 1985). The district court has not certified the March 5 order in accordance with Rule 54(b). Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
