Litigation Div.; Office of the General Counsel, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C.; Henry E. Hudson, U.S. Atty., Alexandria, Va.; Raymond A. Jackson, Asst.

HARRISON L. WINTER, Chief Judge:

Secretary of Health and Human Services Otis R. Bowen (the Secretary) appeals a district court order remanding the social security disability claim of Roy Harper, Jr., for further proceedings. We conclude that the district court's remand order is not a final order within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291 from which the Secretary may appeal. We therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
