Text: Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3 requires that a notice of appeal “designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed.” Fed. R. App. P. 3 Watkins also moves for leave to file a second reply brief, which he submitted with his motion. His motion is GRANTED, and we have considered his second reply brief in deciding this appeal. 3 Case: 18-13938 Date Filed: 01/03/2020 Page: 4 of 16 3(c)(1)(B). However, an appeal from a final judgment brings up for review all preceding non-final orders producing the judgment. Kong v. Allied Prof’l Ins. Co., 750 F.3d 1295, 1301 (11th Cir. 2014). Here, we have jurisdiction to review all the orders Watkins challenges on appeal. His notice of appeal was from the final judgment in this case, so it brought up for review all preceding non-final orders. Having concluded we have jurisdiction over all of the challenged orders, we turn to Watkins’s substantive arguments on appeal.
