    2                       Opinion of the Court                  23-11870
    Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:
    This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
    tion. Daniel Eric Cobble appeals from the magistrate judge’s May
    16, 2023 order denying his motions for postjudgment criminal re-
    lief. However, we lack jurisdiction to directly review a magistrate
    judge’s order, as an appeal from such an order must be taken to the
    district court first. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    ; Donovan v. Sarasota Concrete
    Co., 
    693 F.2d 1061
    , 1066–67 (11th Cir. 1982); United States v. Schultz,
    
    565 F.3d 1353
    , 1359 (11th Cir. 2009). Even if the district court ulti-
    mately overrules Cobble’s objections and affirms the order, the
    subsequent affirmance would not cure the premature notice of ap-
    peal. See Perez-Priego v. Alachua Cnty. Clerk of Ct., 
    148 F.3d 1272
    ,
    1273 (11th Cir. 1998) (holding that magistrate judge’s report and
    recommendation was not final and appealable where the district
    court had not adopted it before the notice of appeal was filed).
    All pending motions are DENIED as MOOT. 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.
