2 Opinion of the Court 24-13687

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Florida

D.C. Docket No. 3:24-cv-00356-MCR-HTC

____________________

Before JILL PRYOR, ABUDU, and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. Matthew Tobin, proceeding pro se, appeals from the magistrate judge’s order denying his second motion for clarification. We 

lack jurisdiction to review the order because it has not been reviewed or rendered final by the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(providing that appellate jurisdiction is generally limited to “final 

decisions of the district courts”); Donovan v. Sarasota Concrete Co., 

693 F.2d 1061, 1066-67 (11th Cir. 1982) (“Decisions by a magistrate 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) are not final orders and may not be 

appealed until rendered final by a district court.”); United States v. 

Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1359 (11th Cir. 2009) (explaining that we

lack jurisdiction to review a magistrate judge’s decision if the district court had no opportunity to review it).

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.
