       2                      Opinion of the Court                23-13524

                     D.C. Docket No. 2:22-mc-03977-WKW
                           ____________________

       Before WILSON, GRANT, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Appellants’ motions to dismiss this appeal for lack of juris-
       diction are GRANTED and this appeal is DISMISSED. As appel-
       lants recognize, the three-judge panel below has not entered a final
       or appealable decision because it has reassigned the case for further
       proceedings. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; Acheron Cap., Ltd. v. Mukamal,
       22 F.4th 979, 986 (11th Cir. 2022) (providing that a final decision
       ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to
       do but execute judgment); Freyre v. Chronister, 910 F.3d 1371, 1377
       (11th Cir. 2018) (noting that an order that contemplates further
       substantive proceedings is not final or appealable).
