PER CURIAM:*

     David A. Deardorff appeals the district court's imposition

of a $500 sanction for his abuse of the discovery process.

Because the litigation is still pending, this court lacks

jurisdiction to review the district court's order.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.

        Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
