Prior to issuing his report and recommendation, Judge Cassady issued an order

instructing the petitioner to file a petition using the Court’s form, and to file a motion to proceed

in forma pauperis. (Doc. 5). The petitioner responded by sending Judge Cassady a letter

enclosing a “notice of appeal” to the Eleventh Circuit, to be “taken from any erroneous order of

dismissal decreed by” Judge Cassady. (Doc. 7). The petitioner is advised that this document is

ineffective as a notice of appeal. Judge Cassady entered no order of dismissal but only

recommended that this Court do so; thus, only this Court’s order and judgment can be appealed. 

Because this order and the accompanying judgment post-date the petitioner’s “notice of appeal,”

it was not filed “after the court announces a decision or order.” Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(2). Nor

does the “notice of appeal” identify this Court’s order and judgment as those appealed from. Id.

3(c).
