v.

No. 85-1901.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

June 18, 1986.

Before JONES, CONTIE and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

1

On November 4, 1985, the verdict form (dated October 30, 1985) which found appellant guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm (18 App. U.S.C. Sec. 1202(a)(1) ) was filed in the district court. Appellant filed a notice of appeal from the verdict on November 6, 1985, docketed in this Court as Case No. 85-1901. On January 17, 1986, the judgment and commitment order was entered (docketed January 28, 1986) and appellant filed a timely notice of appeal therefrom (docketed as Case No. 86-1151).

2

The appeal docketed as Case No. 85-1901 was taken from the jury verdict. The proper procedure in a criminal case is to appeal from the final judgment--the sentence. Berman v. United States, 302 U.S. 211 (1937); Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(b).

3

Appellant has perfected a timely appeal from the final judgment and commitment order (Case No. 86-1151). The appeal in Case No. 85-1901 is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
