¶1Richard G. Sherman (argued), of Sherman & Sturman, Beverly Hills, Cal., for appellant.

¶2Gerald F. Uelmen (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr., U. S. Atty., Charles Magnuson, David R. Nissen, Asst. U. S. Attys., Los Angeles, Cal., for appellee.

¶3Before CHAMBERS, ELY and KIL-KENNY, Circuit Judges.

¶4DECISION

¶5PER CURIAM:

¶6The appeal from the decision of the district court is dismissed. In the present circumstances, the court finds the appeal premature.

¶7Of course, the decision is not on the merits and therefore not res judicata on the merits of Pierce’s claims with reference to the seized material.

¶8In Goodman v. United States, 9 Cir., 369 F.2d 166, the material on which the court acted was in the frame of a fishing expedition. We do not find the case applicable here and think the general rule of DiBella v. United States, 369 U.S. 121, 132, 82 S.Ct. 654, 7 L.Ed.2d 614, applies.
