June 2, 2023 Filing 6 Filed order (Deputy Clerk: MCD): A review of the record and appellants response to the courts April 24, 2023 order to show cause demonstrates that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal filed on April 11, 2023 because the order challenged in the appeal is not final or appealable. See Serine v. Peterson, 989 F.2d 371, 372-73 (9th Cir. 1993) (magistrate judges findings and recommendations not appealable; premature appeal not cured by subsequent entry of final judgment by district court). Consequently, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The Clerk will transmit a copy of appellants May 8, 2023 response to the order to show cause (Docket Entry No. [ # 3 ], pp. 2-5) to the district court for filing as a notice of appeal from the district courts final order and judgment entered April 18, 2023. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(d); Smith v. Barry, 502 U.S. 244, 248-49 (1992) (If a document filed within the time specified by Rule 4 gives the notice required by Rule 3, it is effective as a notice of appeal.). DISMISSED.
