1Opinion of the Court
SYKES, Circuit Judge.
A Catholic school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, discharged a language-arts teacher because she underwent in vitro fertilization in violation of the moral teaching of the Catholic Church. She sued the school and the local diocese alleging that they unlawfully discriminated against her because of her sex and disability. The case comes to us from an order denying the’ motion for summary judgment. Because that decision is nonfinal, the plaintiff has moved to dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction. For the reasons that follow, we grant the motion.
