ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR., J.:
 
     This case is dismissed for lack of a final appealable order.
 
Discovery orders do not constitute final appealable orders and
 
therefore we lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal. Ohio Leitina
 
Company v. City of Cleveland (June 22, 2000), Cuyahoga App. No.
 
76441.

    This appeal is dismissed.
 
    It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant costs herein
 
taxed.
 
    A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate
 
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
