ORDER (Clerk) The foregoing submissions will be placed on this Court's docket, but no further action will be taken on them. This appeal was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on September 26, 2025. The appellant's submissions were not received and processed until after the order dismissing the appeal was issued. If the appellant disagrees with the Court's decision, he may seek rehearing under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 40 and Third Circuit Local Appellate Rules 35.1, 35.2, and 40.1, or he may seek further review from the Supreme Court of the United States. Except for those possibilities, the Court's decision concluded this appeal. (PDB) [Entered: 10/02/2025 03:23 PM]

ORDER (BIBAS, PORTER and MONTGOMERY-REEVES, Circuit Judges) With exceptions not relevant in this case, this Court has jurisdiction only over final decisions from the District Court. See 28 U.S.C. Section 1291. A final order is "one which ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment." Harris v. Kellogg Brown & Root Servs., Inc., 618 F.3d 398, 400 (3d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Appellant seeks to appeal the denial of his motion for the appointment of counsel without prejudice in his ongoing case in the District Court. That decision from the District Court is not final or immediately appealable. See Smith-Bey v. Petsock, 741 F.2d 22, 26 (3d Cir. 1984). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Panel No.: ALD-220. Montgomery-Reeves, Authoring Judge. (PDB) [Entered: 09/26/2025 12:38 PM]

On June 20, 2025, the district court received a document titled "Notice of Appeal," captioned in W.D. Pa. No. 2:24-cv-00484, and transmitted it to this Court as a new appeal.
