NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________

DEE MONBO,

Plaintiff-Appellant v.

UNITED STATES,

Defendant-Appellee ______________________

2025-1826 ______________________

Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims in No. 1:24-cv-01658-CNL, Judge Carolyn N. Lerner. ______________________

Before TARANTO, CUNNINGHAM, and STARK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER

The court dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. As already explained to Dee Monbo in her earlier appeal in this same case, “this court only has jurisdiction to review a ‘final decision’ of the Court of Federal Claims, 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3), which is one that ‘ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment,’ Caitlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945).” Monbo v. United States, Appeal No. 2025-1495, Case: 25-1826 Document: 5 Page: 2 Filed: 07/17/2025

2 MONBO v. US

ECF No. 35 at 2 (Fed. Cir. May 19, 2025).1 This appeal from the Court of Federal Claims’s rejection of her response to the United States’s motion to dismiss clearly does not end the litigation on the merits.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs. (3) The mandate shall issue forthwith.
