Kurt R.E. Madsen, D.O., brought this diversity action challenging the decision of Audrain Medical Center to restrict his medical staff privileges. He asserted claims against the hospital, its chief of staff and chief of surgery for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract and business relationships and slander. Defendants moved to dismiss and the district *761 court 2 granted the motion, dismissing six of the seven claims brought by Madsen. The district court’s order did not contain certification language permitting interlocutory review, nevertheless Madsen appealed. His subsequent attempts to obtain certification from the district court pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) failed. Absent certification pursuant to Rule 54(b) or 28 U.S.C. 1292(b), we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
