       2                      Opinion of the Court                 23-13496

       Before WILSON, GRANT, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Shawn Chalifoux appeals pro se from a magistrate judge’s Sep-
       tember 19, 2023, order extending his period of commitment in a
       mental health facility. That order, however, is not final or appeal-
       able to this Court, as an appeal from a magistrate judge order must
       be taken to the district court. See United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d
       1353, 1359 (11th Cir. 2009). Even if the district judge ultimately
       affirms the order, the subsequent affirmance would not cure Chal-
       ifoux’s premature notice of appeal. See Perez-Priego v. Alachua Cnty.
       Clerk of Ct., 148 F.3d 1272, 1273 (11th Cir. 1998).
              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.
