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 ques-
tion.
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 gen-
erally 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 lit-
igation—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 Document: 10-1 Date Filed: 08/09/2023 Page: 3 of 3
23-11093 Opinion of the Court 3
does not conclude the litigation may be appealed under the collat-
eral 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 jurisdic-
tion to hear appeals directly from a magistrate judge’s ruling, and
an appeal from such a ruling must be taken to the district court).
