This court has a duty to consider sua sponte whether appellate jurisdiction is properly invoked. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 740 (1976). This appeal, filed prior to the entry of the final judgment, is premature.

It therefore is ORDERED that this action is sua sponte dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
