USCA11 Case: 23-11093 Document: 10-1 Date Filed: 08/09/2023 Page: 1 of 3 [DO NOT PUBLISH] In the United States Court of Appeals For the Eleventh Circuit ____________________ No. 23-11093 Non-Argument Calendar ____________________ ALLEN OKECHUKWU CAUDLE, Plainti -Appellant, versus UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FULTON COUNTY, STATE OF GEORGIA, COBB COUNTY, CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS, NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY, Defendants-Appellees, CITY OF ALPHARETTA, et al., USCA11 Case: 23-11093 2 Document: 10-1 Date Filed: 08/09/2023 Opinion of the Court Page: 2 of 3 23-11093 Defendants. ____________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 1:22-cv-04865-SDG ____________________ Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Because Allen Caudle’s notice of appeal does not identify any district court order or otherwise indicate what he challenges on appeal, we asked the parties to address this jurisdictional issue. None of the parties have filed a response to the jurisdictional question. Upon our review of the record, we DISMISS this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The district court has not entered a final order resolving Caudle’s claims or otherwise ending the litigation on the merits. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (providing that our jurisdiction is generally limited to final decisions of the district courts); Acheron Cap., Ltd. v. Mukamal, 22 F.4th 979, 986 (11th Cir. 2022). Additionally, the interlocutory orders that have been entered in this action—a magistrate judge’s orders regarding Caudle’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and a standing order regarding civil litigation—are not immediately appealable. See Plaintiff A v. Schair, 744 F.3d 1247, 1252-53 (11th Cir. 2014) (explaining that a ruling that USCA11 Case: 23-11093 23-11093 Document: 10-1 Date Filed: 08/09/2023 Opinion of the Court Page: 3 of 3 3 does not conclude the litigation may be appealed under the collateral order doctrine if it, inter alia, is “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment”); United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1359 (11th Cir. 2009) (holding that we lack jurisdiction to hear appeals directly from a magistrate judge’s ruling, and an appeal from such a ruling must be taken to the district court).
