On Appeal from the United States District Court for the

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
This is an appeal from the denial of a FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b)(4) motion and a civil

contempt order in an SEC enforcement action. The contempt order was civil in nature and thus
not immediately subject to review on appeal. FDIC v. LeGrand, 43 F.3d 163, 168 (5th Cir. 1995);
Lamar Fin. Corp. v. Adams, 918 F.2d 564, 566 (5th Cir. 1990). The denial of the FED. R. CIV. P.
60(b)(4) motion was not a final judgment, and the appellants have failed to show that the
judgement falls under the collateral-order doctrine. Southern Travel Club v. Carnival Air Lines,
Inc., 986 F.2d 125, 129-30 (5th Cir. 1993); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.
541, 545 (1949). We lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and it is therefore dismissed.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
