Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Morrison C. England, Jr., District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 12, 2018** Before: RAWLINSON, CLIFTON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

2012. This court has an obligation to review whether appellate jurisdiction exists for this appeal. Breed v. Hughes Aircraft Co., 253 F.3d 1173, 1177 (9th Cir. 2001). We dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

We do not have jurisdiction to hear this appeal because the district court did not enter, either during or after the order to show cause hearing, an order holding Brayshaw in contempt or an order modifying its prior, final enforcement order.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; Couch v. Telescope Inc., 611 F.3d 629, 632 (9th Cir. 2010) (“[P]arties may appeal only from orders which end the litigation on the merits and leave nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment.” (citation, alterations, and internal quotation marks omitted)).

DISMISSED.
