2 Opinion of the Court 24-10157
Before J ORDAN, J ILL PRYOR , and NEWSOM , CIRCUIT J UDGES.
PER CURIAM:
This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
tion. 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 or-
ders, however, are not final or appealable to this Court, as an ap-
peal 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.
