ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

No. 90-1359 

(D.C. No. 88-N-1003) 

(D. Colorado) 

Before ANDERSON, TACHA, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

The appellants have attempted to appeal an order of the 

district court granting plaintiff's motion for leave to file a 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

I 

Third Amendment complaint. R. Vol. I, Tab 8. Such an order is 

clearly not appealable. It is interlocutory and not a "final 

judgment" as required by 28 u.s.c. S 1291. A final decision 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). Accordingly, appellee's motion 

to dismiss is granted. The appeal is DISMISSED. The Mandate 

shall issue forthwith.
