Docket No. 8:19-cr-00056-MSS-AEP-1 ____________________ USCA11 Case: 24-10157 2 Document: 14-1 Date Filed: 02/23/2024 Opinion of the Court Page: 2 of 2 24-10157 Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and NEWSOM, CIRCUIT JUDGES. PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. Ronald Geddis appeals from a magistrate judge’s January 5, 2024, order allowing Geddis to retrieve non-contraband materials from his phone and a magistrate judge’s January 5, 2024, paperless order denying his motion to strike a government filing. The orders, however, are not final or appealable to this Court, as an appeal from a magistrate judge order must be taken to the district court. See United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1359 (11th Cir. 2009). Even if the district judge ultimately affirms the orders, the subsequent affirmances would not cure Geddis’s premature notice of appeal. See Perez-Priego v. Alachua Cnty. Clerk of Ct., 148 F.3d 1272, 1273 (11th Cir. 1998). 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.
