Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and WELLFORD, Circuit Judges, ENGEL, Senior Circuit Judge.
ORDER
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court
pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
A review of the documents before the court indicates that
the district court's order directing the plaintiff to
respond to the facts elicited at trial by filing a
comprehensive post-trial brief was entered April 10, 1990.
The defendants appealed from that order. This court lacks
jurisdiction as purely administrative decisions of a
district court may not be appealed under 28 U.S.C. Sec.
1291. See In re Rini, 782 F.2d 603, 606-07 (6th Cir.1986).
In addition, this order which merely clarifies an order is
not appealable. See Motorola, Inc. v. Computer Displays
Int'l, Inc., 739 F.2d 1149, 1155 (7th Cir.1984). The order,
moreover, directs the plaintiff file a post-trial brief; we
presume this would include a reasonable time requirement.
It is hard to see how defendants are aggrieved by this order.
It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is,
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(b)(1),
Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
