    Arthur F. PIGGOTT, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    Lieutenant STANTON, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 91-7041.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted May 6, 1991.
    Decided May 29, 1991.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
    Virginia, at Norfolk. William T. Prince, Magistrate Judge. (CA-89-771-N)
    Arthur F. Piggott, appellant pro se.
    Robert De Hardit Hicks, Martin, Hicks & Ingles, Ltd., Gloucester, Va., for
    appellee.
    E.D.Va.
    DISMISSED.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL, WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Arthur F. Piggott appeals from the magistrate judge's report and


    recommendation which recommended that judgment be entered for the
    defendants on his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 complaint. Contemporaneously with his
    notice of appeal, Piggott, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 636(b)(1)(C), objected to

    the magistrate judge's findings and recommendation. 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 dismiss the appeal as


    interlocutory. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues
    have been decided authoritatively.

    DISMISSED.
