Before STOLL, CUNNINGHAM, and STARK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. ORDER In response to this court’s May 15, 2024 show cause or- der, the United States urges dismissal. Shasta Casey How- ell has not filed a response, though the court has received other filings from Ms. Howell in the interim.

Meanwhile at Case: 24-1775 Document: 8 Page: 2 Filed: 07/10/2024

2 HOWELL v. US

the trial court, Ms. Howell has moved for summary judg- ment and the United States has moved to dismiss. Both motions remain pending. In general, we only have jurisdiction over “an appeal from a final decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims.” 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3) (emphasis added). A final decision “is one which ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judg- ment.” Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945). Here, no such decision has been entered, and Ms. Howell does not identify, and the court is not aware of, any other basis for this court’s review of the challenged actions at this time. If necessary, Ms. Howell may seek this court’s review by filing a timely notice of appeal after a final decision has been entered in her case. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs. FOR THE COURT
