____________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 4:23-cv-00045-CLR ____________________ Before WILSON, LAGOA, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. The district court’s order denying Dante Hayward’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is not a final, appealable or- der. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; see also Isaac v. United States, 809 F. App’x 595, 597 (11th Cir. 2020) (citing Gomez v. United States, 245 F.2d 346, 347 (5th Cir. 1957) (stating that an order denying a motion to appeal in forma pauperis is not a final, appealable order). The proper pro- cedure for review of such an order is to renew the motion before this Court. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5) & advisory committee notes (1967 Adoption).

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.
