OPINION
ALAN E. NORRIS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents a question of first impression for this court: In a case premised upon a claim for disability benefits under a pension plan governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq. (“ERISA”), is an order by a district court remanding the case to the plan administrator for a determination of the claimant’s eligibility a final decision under' 28 U.S.C. § 1291? Because we conclude that such an order is not a final decision, we dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
