       2                       Opinion of the Court                  23-12766

       Before ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Bernadette Dickerson appeals directly from the magistrate
       judge’s June 30, 2023 report and recommendation (“R&R”) that
       Conduent Commercial Solutions, LLC’s motion to dismiss her
       complaint be granted. However, the R&R was not final or imme-
       diately appealable, and Dickerson filed the construed notice of ap-
       peal before the district court adopted the R&R. See 28 U.S.C.
       § 1291; Donovan v. Sarasota Concrete Co., 693 F.2d 1061, 1066-67
       (11th Cir. 1982) (explaining that magistrate judge orders issued pur-
       suant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) are not final and may not be appealed
       until rendered final by a district court); Perez-Priego v. Alachua Cnty.
       Clerk of Ct., 148 F.3d 1272, 1273 (11th Cir. 1998) (providing that a
       magistrate judge’s R&R that has not been adopted by the district
       court is not final and immediately appealable). Moreover, the dis-
       trict court’s adoption of the R&R did not cure the instant prema-
       ture notice of appeal. See Perez-Priego, 148 F.3d at 1273.
              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.
              All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
