United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ DEE MONBO, Plaintiff-Appellant v. UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee ______________________ 2025-1608 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims in No. 1:25-cv-00325-MRS, Judge Molly R. Silfen. ______________________ Before TARANTO, CUNNINGHAM, and STARK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER Dee Monbo seeks to appeal the United States Court of Federal Claims’s order directing her to show cause why her bid protest case should not be dismissed for lack of stand- ing or jurisdiction or on the basis of issue preclusion. On May 27, 2025, this court directed the parties to address this court’s jurisdiction. Ms. Monbo has not filed a response.

The United States urges dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.

2 MONBO v. US

In general, 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,” Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945). Here, the trial court’s show cause order is plainly not a final decision.1 Because we lack jurisdiction, we dis- miss the appeal.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.

FOR THE COURT

August 12, 2025 Date

1 Although the Court of Federal Claims subse- quently dismissed Ms. Monbo’s complaint and entered judgment, Ms. Monbo did not file a new or amended notice of appeal from that judgment or respond to this court’s show cause order. See Fed. R. App. P. 3, 4.
