USCA11 Case: 19-14730 Date Filed: 03/30/2021 Page: 2 of 2 ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia ________________________ (March 30, 2021) Before ROSENBAUM, LAGOA, and ED CARNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: We previously issued an order holding this case in abeyance pending an appeal from final judgment or the expiration of time for filing a notice of appeal. An appeal from final judgment has been filed, see McClendon v. Long, No. 2110092 (docketed on Jan. 8, 2021), so we now dismiss this appeal of the preliminary injunction as moot, see Burton v. Georgia, 953 F.2d 1266, 1272 n.9 (11th Cir. 1992) (“We stayed consideration of the State’s appeal until the district court awarded final judgment. We now dismiss the State’s appeal to [sic] the preliminary injunction because the district court’s denial of permanent relief rendered that earlier ruling moot. Once a final judgment is rendered, the appeal is properly taken from the final judgment, not the preliminary injunction.”). 2
