DEE MONBO,

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.
O R D E R
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,

MONBO v. US 2
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.
