    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Georgia
    D.C. Docket No. 1:21-cv-04970-SEG
    ____________________
    Before ROSENBAUM, LUCK, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:
    This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
    tion. Deandre Arnold appeals from district court orders dismissing
    various defendants and denying his motion to alter or amend part
    of the judgment. Those orders are not final and appealable, how-
    ever, because they did not end the litigation on the merits in the
    district court. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    ; Acheron Cap., Ltd. v. Mukamal,
    
    22 F.4th 979
    , 986 (11th Cir. 2022) (stating that a final order ends the
    USCA11 Case: 23-11965     Document: 8-1      Date Filed: 07/24/2023     Page: 3 of 3
    23-11965               Opinion of the Court                         3
    litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but
    execute its judgment).
    Arnold’s claims against defendant Gloria Banister remain
    pending before the district court, and the district court did not cer-
    tify any of its orders for immediate review under 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 dis-
    poses of fewer than all claims against all parties to an action is not
    immediately appealable absent certification pursuant to Rule
    54(b)). Additionally, the district court’s March 16, 2023, May 16,
    2023, and June 12, 2023 orders that Arnold appears to be challeng-
    ing are not effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final order
    resolving the case on the merits. Plaintiff A v. Schair, 
    744 F.3d 1247
    ,
    1252-53 (11th Cir. 2014) (explaining that a ruling that does not con-
    clude the litigation may be appealed under the collateral order doc-
    trine if it, inter alia, is “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a
    final judgment”).
    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.
