Frank Acierno appeals the district court’s September 27, 2006 order vacating a
prior order terminating a consent decree. The September 27 order was entered pursuant to

-- 1 of 2 --

Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). For the reasons that follow, we conclude that we do not have
jurisdiction, and the appeal is dismissed.
“When an order granting a Rule 60(b) motion merely vacates the judgment and
leaves the case pending for further determination, the order . . . is interlocutory and
nonappealable.” National Passenger Railroad Corp. v. Maylie, 910 F.2d 1181, 1183 (3d
Cir. 1990).
