[UNPUBLISHED]

Former Missouri inmate George Poole appeals from the district court’s order granting defendant’s motion to dismiss his civil rights and tort complaint against various prison officials. We grant Poole leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

The judgment was not a final, appeal-able order, because it did not dispose of all of Poole’s claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (creating appellate jurisdiction over final decisions of district courts); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) (“order or other form of decision, however designated, which adjudicates fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties shall not terminate the action as to any of the claims or parties”). Poole’s complaint stated that defendant Missouri Department of Corrections Director Gary Kempker improperly refused him release money and other funds, and that some of the other defendants in various ways violated his First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Poole expanded on his claims in his objections to the magistrate’s report and recommendation, stating that defendants opened and kept his legal mail, searched his cell in the *853 middle of the night, and kept him naked in a cold cell for 23 hours. The court’s order from which Poole seeks to appeal addressed only a due process claim relating to the state court’s refusal to waive a service-of-process fee.

Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Thomas v. Basham, 931 F.2d 521, 522-24 (8th Cir. 1991) (appellate courts have obligation to raise jurisdictional issues sua sponte “when there is an indication that jurisdiction is lacking”; appeal was “clearly premature” where some claims were still pending).
