Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Florida

D.C. Docket No. 3:21-cv-00537-MCR-ZCB

____________________

Before ROSENBAUM, BRANCH, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. Steven Douglas Sherman, proceeding pro se, appeals from the 

district court’s order entering summary judgment for six defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit, which merged into its final order 

and judgment dismissing his remaining claims. See Mickles on behalf 

of herself v. Country Club Inc., 887 F.3d 1270, 1278 (11th Cir. 2018) 

(“Since only a final judgment . . . is appealable, the appeal from a 

final judgment draws in question all prior non-final orders . . .

which produced the judgment.” (quotation marks omitted, alterations accepted)); Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(7) (“An appeal must not be

24-13230 Opinion of the Court 3

dismissed . . . for failure to properly designate the judgment if the 

notice of appeal was filed after entry of the judgment and designates an order that merged into that judgment.”).

Sherman was required to file a notice of appeal from the district court’s August 7, 2024, judgment by September 6, 2024. See

28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, his notice 

of appeal was not filed until October 2, 2024. See Haney v. Mizell 

Mem’l Hosp., 744 F.2d 1467, 1472 (11th Cir. 1984). Accordingly, the 

notice is untimely and cannot invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See 

Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).

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.
