    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Florida
    D.C. Docket No. 2:23-cv-14005-KMM
    ____________________
    Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:
    Upon our review of the record and the parties’ responses to
    the jurisdictional question, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of ju-
    risdiction.
    First, the notice of appeal is untimely to bring up for review
    the district court’s April 26, 2023 order dismissing Tamiko Peele’s
    complaint with leave to amend and any earlier order. The district
    court’s order became a final judgment on May 22, 2023—when the
    time for amendment expired—so the 30-day statutory time period
    required Peele to file a notice of appeal by June 21, 2023. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 2107
    (a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); Schuurman v. Motor Ves-
    sel “Betty K V”, 
    798 F.2d 442
    , 445 (11th Cir. 1986) (explaining that
    when a district court dismisses a complaint with leave to amend
    within a specified time period, the dismissal order becomes final
    USCA11 Case: 23-12168      Document: 21-1     Date Filed: 11/21/2023     Page: 3 of 3
    23-12168               Opinion of the Court                         3
    upon expiration of the time for amendment, and the time to appeal
    is measured from that date); Fogade v. ENB Revocable Tr.,
    
    263 F.3d 1274
    , 1286 n.9 (11th Cir. 2001). However, Peele did not
    file the notice of appeal until June 30, 2023, so it is untimely and
    cannot invoke our appellate jurisdiction to review the district
    court’s April 26, 2023 order or any earlier order. See Green v. Drug
    Enf’t Admin., 
    606 F.3d 1296
    , 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
    Second, while Peele’s notice of appeal is timely as to the
    magistrate judge’s June 2, 2023 postjudgment order, we lack juris-
    diction to directly review a magistrate judge’s order. See Donovan
    v. Sarasota Concrete Co., 
    693 F.2d 1061
    , 1066-67 (11th Cir. 1982) (ex-
    plaining that a magistrate judge’s orders issued pursuant to
    
    28 U.S.C. § 636
    (b) are not final and may not be appealed until ren-
    dered final by a district court); United States v. Schultz,
    
    565 F.3d 1353
    , 1359 (11th Cir. 2009). Peele did not object to the
    magistrate judge’s order or otherwise ask the district court to re-
    view it, so we lack jurisdiction to consider it now. See 
    id.
