2 Opinion of the Court 24-12574 ____________________ Before JORDAN, BRANCH, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. Joshua Lee Day appeals from the district court’s June 4, 2024, order denying his motion to compel the State to give him various state court records relating to his convictions.
We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the June 4 or- der did not dispose of any of Day’s claims in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, which is pending, and so the order is not a final decision on the merits. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; CSX Transp., Inc. v. City of Gar- den City, 235 F.3d 1325, 1327 (11th Cir. 2000) (“A final decision is one which ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment.”). The order is also not otherwise appealable, as it was not certified for immediate appeal and can be effectively reviewed after final judgment. See Plaintiff A v. Schair, 744 F.3d 1247, 1252-53 (11th Cir. 2014) (explaining that an order is not appealable under the collateral order doctrine unless it would be effectively unreviewable on appeal from the final judg- ment); 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b); Microsoft Corp. v. Baker, 582 U.S. 23, 29 (2017) (explaining that an otherwise unreviewable order is appeal- able under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) only if the district court certifies the order for immediate review under that provision).
