Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia.

Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, RONEY and TJOFLAT, Circuit Judges.

BY THE COURT:

The motion of appellee to dismiss the appeal is GRANTED, because the appeal is not from a final order. An order of the district court remanding the case to the Secretary for further consideration is generally not a final order. Barfield v. Weinberger, 485 F.2d 696, 698 (5th Cir. 1973); see Jordan v.
