                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of Georgia
                   D.C. Docket No. 1:23-cv-02265-ELR-CMS
                           ____________________

       Before NEWSOM, LAGOA, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Marva Monroe El appeals from the district court’s February
       8, 2024 order adopting a magistrate judge’s report and recommen-
       dation (“R&R”). The district court’s order was not final and ap-
       pealable however, because it did not end the proceedings on the
       merits. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; Acheron Cap., Ltd. v. Mukamal,
       22 F.4th 979, 986 (11th Cir. 2022) (stating that an appealable final
       order ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the
       court to do but execute its judgment).
              Three of Monroe El’s claims against the Fulton County
       Board of Health remain pending before the district court, and the
       court did not certify its February 8 order for immediate review un-
       der Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). See Supreme Fuels Trading
       FZE v. Sargeant, 689 F.3d 1244, 1246 (11th Cir. 2012) (noting that an
       order that disposes of fewer than all claims against all parties to an
       action is not immediately appealable absent certification pursuant
       to Rule 54(b)). Nor is the district court’s February 8 order
USCA11 Case: 24-10562     Document: 20-1      Date Filed: 04/30/2024    Page: 3 of 3

       24-10562               Opinion of the Court                        3

       effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final order resolving the
       case on the merits. See Plaintiff A v. Schair, 744 F.3d 1247, 1252-53
       (11th Cir. 2014) (explaining that a ruling that does not conclude the
       litigation may be appealed under the collateral order doctrine if it,
       inter alia, is “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judg-
       ment”).
              Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack
       of jurisdiction. No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it
       complies with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R.
       40-3 and all other applicable rules.
