- 2 -
Electronics of Texas, Inc. (collectively the Rices) appeal the
memorandum ruling of the district court denying their motion
appealing the magistrate judge’s discovery order. The discovery
order is not appealable as a final judgment, has not been deemed
final under any jurisprudential exceptions, and has not been
certified for appeal by the district court. See Dardar v.
Lafourche Realty Co., Inc., 849 F.2d 955, 957 (5th Cir. 1988).
Because we are without jurisdiction, the appeal is DISMISSED. See
Texaco, Inc. v. Louisiana Land and Exploration Co., 995 F.2d 43,
43 (5th Cir. 1993).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
