HILL, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal under Rule 23(f), Fed.R.Civ.P., from the district court's order certifying a national class of approximately 70 million automobile insurance policyholders. Plaintiffs' complaint seeks treble damages under the federal antitrust laws for alleged premium overcharges. For the following reasons, we have determined that we have no jurisdiction in this matter and shall dismiss the appeal.
