2 Opinion of the Court 23-90031
Petition for Permission to Appeal from the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Florida
D.C. Docket No. 23-17823-EPK
____________________
Before J ORDAN , ROSENBAUM, and J ILL PRYOR , Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Petitioner Lisa Cantrell seeks permission to appeal from the
bankruptcy court’s order dismissing her Chapter 13 proceedings.
However, we lack jurisdiction to entertain the petition. First,
Cantrell does not challenge a final decision of the district court. See
28 U.S.C. § 158(d)(1) (noting that our jurisdiction in bankruptcy
cases is generally limited to reviewing “final decisions, judgments,
orders, and decrees” entered by district courts). Indeed, the district
court had not entered any orders when Cantrell filed her petition
with us. Second, this case does not fall within any of the exceptions
that allow bankruptcy court orders to be appealed directly to us, as
neither the bankruptcy court, the district court, nor the parties cer-
tified any of the bankruptcy court’s orders for direct appeal. See
id. § 158(d)(2)(A); City Nat’l Bank of Miami v. Gen. Coffee Corp. (In re
Gen. Coffee Corp.), 758 F.2d 1406, 1408-09 (11th Cir. 1985) (address-
ing our jurisdiction to hear appeals in bankruptcy cases).
Accordingly, this petition is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack
of jurisdiction. No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it
