PER CURIAM:

Judgment was entered on November 3, 1988 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denying plaintiff Obadiah Fisher's request for a declaratory judgment. Fisher had asked that the district court determine whether a copyright to a pendant he designed had been infringed by defendants. The district court dismissed the action on the ground of res judicata.

We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
