MEDEMA, Senior Attorney for the Drug Enforcement Administration Office of Domestic Operations Asset Forfeiture Sections; MIA MOORE, DEA Agent; COLIN J. SULLIVAN, Officer-Detective, Defendants-Appellees. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:01-CV-841-A -------------------- Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Andres Mares Reyna, Rebecca Reyna, Andres Montoya Reyna, and Elida Reyna (collectively, the Reynas) have appealed the district court’s denial of a FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b) motion for relief from judgment. Because the Reynas filed an appeal from the challenged judgment prior to filing their Rule 60(b) motion and this court had not authorized the district court to grant Rule 60(b) relief, * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 03-10055 -2- the district court lacked jurisdiction to grant the motion. Travelers Ins. Co. v. Liljeberg Enters., Inc., 38 F.3d 1404, 1408, n.3 (5th Cir. 1994). This appeal is without arguable merit and we therefore dismiss it as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). APPEAL DISMISSED.
