Dee Monbo v. United States

N OTE: This order is nonprecedential.
United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit
______________________
DEE MONBO,
Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
UNITED STATES,
Defendant-Appellee
______________________
2025-1401
______________________
Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims
in No. 1:24-cv-02083-EMR, Judge Eleni M. Roumel.
______________________
Before D YK, P ROST , and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
Responding to the court’s February 13, 2025 show
cause order, Dee Monbo requests remand, arguing that this
court “lacks subject matter jurisdiction” because her “No-
tice of Appeal is not effective,” ECF No. 5-1 at 1 (emphasis
in original). The United States urges dismissal.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3), this court generally only
has jurisdiction over an appeal from a “final decision” of the
United States Court of Federal Claims. See Fed. R. App.

MONBO v. US 2
P. 3(c)(1)(B) (also requiring the notice of appeal identify the
judgment or order on appeal); Fed. Cir. R. 1(a)(1)(C).
Ms. Monbo’s notice of appeal purportedly seeks review
of the Court of Federal Claims’s failure to grant her re-
quests for a temporary restraining order or preliminary in-
junction and failure to grant her an extension of time to
obtain legal counsel. ECF No. 1-2 at 1, 15. But that court
had not taken any action on her request for a restraining
order or injunction or entered an otherwise immediately
appealable order by the time Ms. Monbo filed her notice of
appeal, such that this court lacks jurisdiction.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
(1) The appeal is dismissed.
(2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
