Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Before WISDOM, GEWIN and AINSWORTH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant Behring Corporaton, a real estate developer, appeals from an order of the district court granting class action certification under certain counts of a complaint against it, and defining the appropriate class and subclass.The district court denied appellant's motion for certification pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), and appellant now seeks to appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We have carefully considered the briefs, record, and contentions of the parties on oral argument.It is our conclusion that the order entered by the district court is not a final appealable order under § 1291 and that the appeal should be dismissed.See, e.g., Blackie v. Barrack, 524 F.2d 891(9th Cir.1975);Seiffer v. Topsy's International, Inc., 520 F.2d 795(10th Cir.1974);In re Cessna Aircraft Distributorship Antitrust Litigation, White Industries, Inc. v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 518 F.2d 213(8th Cir.1975);General Motors Corp. v. City of New York, 501 F.2d 639(2d Cir.1974);Thill Securities Corp. v. New York Stock Exchange, 469 F.2d 14(7th Cir.1972);Walsh v. City of Detroit, 412 F.2d 226(6th Cir.1969).
