2 Opinion of the Court 24-13974

Before GRANT, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Kelly Weddle, proceeding pro se, appeals from a magistrate judge’s order denying his motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). A jurisdictional question asked the parties to address whether that order is immediately appealable. The district judge in this case has not ruled on the IFP issue or otherwise rendered the magistrate judge’s order final. We thus lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (providing that the courts of appeals have jurisdiction over “appeals from all final decisions of the district courts”); United States v. Renfro, 620 F.2d 497, 500 (5th Cir. 1980) (holding, under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), that “[a]ppeals from [a] magistrate’s ruling must be to the district court”); Donovan v. Sarasota Concrete Co., 693 F.2d 1061, 1066-67 (11th Cir. 1982) (explaining that such decisions “are not final and may not be appealed until rendered final by a district court”). Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED. All pending mo- tions are DENIED as moot.
