Nature of Suit Code: 550
Nature of Suit: Prisoner - Civil Rights (U.S. defendant)
Cause of Action: 42:1983 Prisoner Civil Rights

---

On June 17, 2010, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 6) as to the Recommendation. 1

On June 21, 2010, the Court construed the Notice as a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis,

and denied the motion (Doc. 7). “[A] premature notice of appeal does not divest the district court

of jurisdiction over the case,” United States v. Kapelushnik, 306 F.3d 1090, 1094 (11th Cir.2002),

and “[a]n attempt to appeal a non-appealable order remains just that, an attempt[,] ... [and] a nullity,”

id. (internal quotation marks omitted). Because a Magistrate Judge's recommendation is not an

appealable order under § 1292, this court may rule on the recommendation despite the notice of

appeal.
