Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, GORSUCH, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

We raise sua sponte the question of whether this court has jurisdiction to consider 

this appeal. David Webb, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal of the district court’s 

March 22, 2016 order, dismissing his complaint without prejudice as to one defendant 

and with prejudice as to the other defendants, stating that he “should be allowed one final 

chance to amend.” 

Generally, this court’s jurisdiction is limited to review of final decisions. 28

court to do but execute the judgment). The March 22, 2016 order did not end the 

litigation, and the district court denied Mr. Webb’s motion to certify the March 22, 2016 

order as final. 

Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider the appeal.

We note that the district court has since entered final judgment in the underlying 

matter and that Mr. Webb filed a notice of appeal of the final judgment. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.
