Jason Victor HAMM-BEY, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
Terrie C. CHAVIS, Warden, Attorney General of the State of
Maryland, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 88-6878.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Feb. 27, 1989.
Decided April 28, 1989.
Jason Victor Hamm-Bey, appellant pro se.
Before WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Jason Hamm-Bey appeals an order of the district court dismissing two of his habeas corpus claims under Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 465 (1976). We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 this Court has jurisdiction over appeals from final orders. A final order is one which disposes of all issues in dispute as to all parties. It "ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment." Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945).
As the order appealed from is not a final order, it is not appealable under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291. The district court has not directed entry of final judgment as to particular claims or parties under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b), nor is the order appealable under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292. Finally, the order is not appealable as a collateral order under Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
Finding no basis for appellate jurisdiction, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues have been decided authoritatively.
DISMISSED.
