      2                       Opinion of the Court                  23-90031

                   Petition for Permission to Appeal from the
                    United States Bankruptcy Court for the
                           Southern District of Florida
                         D.C. Docket No. 23-17823-EPK
                            ____________________

      Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Petitioner Lisa Cantrell seeks permission to appeal from the
      bankruptcy court’s order dismissing her Chapter 13 proceedings.
      However, we lack jurisdiction to entertain the petition. First,
      Cantrell does not challenge a final decision of the district court. See
      28 U.S.C. § 158(d)(1) (noting that our jurisdiction in bankruptcy
      cases is generally limited to reviewing “final decisions, judgments,
      orders, and decrees” entered by district courts). Indeed, the district
      court had not entered any orders when Cantrell filed her petition
      with us. Second, this case does not fall within any of the exceptions
      that allow bankruptcy court orders to be appealed directly to us, as
      neither the bankruptcy court, the district court, nor the parties cer-
      tified any of the bankruptcy court’s orders for direct appeal. See
      id. § 158(d)(2)(A); City Nat’l Bank of Miami v. Gen. Coffee Corp. (In re
      Gen. Coffee Corp.), 758 F.2d 1406, 1408-09 (11th Cir. 1985) (address-
      ing our jurisdiction to hear appeals in bankruptcy cases).
              Accordingly, this petition is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack
       of jurisdiction. No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it

      23-90031             Opinion of the Court                     3

      complies with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R.
      40-3 and all other applicable rules.
