ORDER

Filed December 12, 2007

Before LUCERO, HARTZ, and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges.

This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the order being appealed

is not final or otherwise immediately appealable. 

The plaintiff appeals an order of the district court granting in part a motion to

dismiss filed by one of the defendants.

This court has jurisdiction to review only final decisions, 28 U.S.C. § 1291,

and specific types of interlocutory orders not applicable here. A final decision is one

that “‘ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but

execute the judgment.’” Cunningham v. Hamilton County, 527 U.S. 198, 204 (1999)

(quoting Van Cauwenberghe v. Biard, 486 U.S. 517, 521-22 (1988)). 

Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED.
