LOUIS CHARLES SHEPTIN,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
KIMBERELY ANN FREEMAN, Nurse, Val Verde County
Jail; ALFREDO GUTIERREZ, M.D.,
Defendants-Appellees.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. DR-98-CV-16
--------------------
April 13, 2000
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Louis Charles Sheptin appeals the district court’s order
denying his motions to compel discovery and for summary judgment.
This order is not appealable as a final judgment, has not been
deemed final under any jurisprudential exception, and has not
been certified for appeal by the district court. See Dardar v.
Lafourche Realty Co., Inc., 849 F.2d 955, 957 (5th Cir. 1988).
Alternatively, Sheptin asks this court to exercise its
“supervisory power” and accept jurisdiction over this case

because he has allegedly revealed evidence of conspiracies and
wrongdoing by the district court. There is no authority for the
court to assume “supervisory responsibility” over Sheptin’s
pending complaint in the district court. Because we are without
jurisdiction, the appeal is DISMISSED. See Texaco, Inc. v.
Louisiana Land and Exploration Co., 995 F.2d 43, 43 (5th Cir.
1993); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 546
(1949).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
