ORDER

_________________________________

Before GORSUCH, MATHESON, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This court lacks jurisdiction because no final or otherwise appealable order has 

been entered by the district court. The petitioner filed this appeal after the district court 

dismissed most of his claims. However, the matter is proceeding in the district court as to 

the remaining claims.

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

specific types of interlocutory orders. A final decision is one that disposes of all issues on 

the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment. Van 

Cauwenberghe v. Biard, 486 U.S. 517, 521 (1988). 

 * Cynthia H. Coffman was sworn in as the Colorado Attorney General on January 

13, 2015 and is substituted for John W. Suthers pursuant to Rule 43(c)(2) of the Federal 

Rules of Appellate Procedure.
