2 Opinion of the Court 23-11318
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
D.C. Docket No. 9:18-cv-80176-BB
____________________
Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
tion.
Craig Wright appeals a magistrate judge’s order denying his
post-judgment motions to disqualify counsel for plaintiffs. How-
ever, Wright did not appeal the magistrate judge’s order to the dis-
trict court, and the district court did not render it final. See
28 U.S.C. § 636(b); Donovan v. Sarasota Concrete Co.,
693 F.2d 1061,
1066-67 (11th Cir. 1982) (explaining that when a magistrate judge
is proceeding under the supervision of a district court, under
28 U.S.C. § 636(b), its actions “are not final orders and may not be
appealed until rendered final by a district court”); United States v.
Schultz,
565 F.3d 1353, 1359 (11th Cir. 2009) (explaining that a party
must first appeal a magistrate judge’s order to the district court,
and the court of appeals is without jurisdiction to hear appeals di-
rectly from magistrate judges, even in an appeal from the final
judgment).
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.
