       2                       Opinion of the Court                  23-13961

                      D.C. Docket No. 1:23-cv-04218-LMM
                           ____________________

       Before ROSENBAUM, LUCK, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Kenneth and Jacquelyn Johnson, proceeding pro se, appeal
       from the district court’s order denying their motion for default
       judgment against the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the
       Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office. However, because the order is
       not final or otherwise appealable, we lack jurisdiction to review it.
       See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; CSX Transp., Inc. v. City of Garden City, 235 F.3d
       1325, 1327 (11th Cir. 2000); World Fuel Corp. v. Geithner, 568 F.3d
       1345, 1348 (11th Cir. 2009); Mass. Cas. Ins. Co. v. Forman, 469 F.2d
       259, 260 n.1 (5th Cir. 1972) (explaining that the denial of a motion
       for default judgment is not a final, appealable order).
              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.
