USCA Case Number 22-784 (L), 22-1016 (Con). Appellant, pro se, appeals from two orders.

See In re Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, N.Y., Inc., 745 F.3d 30, 35 (2d Cir. 2014) (per curiam); see also Petrello v. White, 533 F.3d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 2008) (holding interlocutory order denying a motion for reconsideration is only immediately appealable if the underlying order it sought reconsideration of is immediately appealable); Cunningham v. Hamilton Cnty., 527 U.S. 198, 20510 (1999) (holding that an order imposing sanctions was not appealable prior to the entry of a final judgment); LoSacco v. City of Middletown, 71 F.3d 88, 91 (2d Cir. 1995) (explaining that if a magistrate judge's jurisdiction derives from 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(A), the ruling does "not become final... and thus appealable... until" the district court judge has overruled the litigants objections); Ruffolo v. Oppenheimer & Co., 949 F.2d 33, 36 (2d Cir. 1991) (holding that an order dismissing only some claims was not immediately appealable absent Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) certification). Upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the appeals are DISMISSED.. Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk USCA for the Second Circuit. Issued As Mandate: 09/12/2022..(nd)

May 28, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 35 ORDER: As stated, the provision of the Code of Federal Regulations that Pia cites has no bearing on the proceeding here; it applies to a separate, administrative appeals process unrelated to the Federal Tort Claims Act, and here the Government is not appealing any damages award. The Government did not engage in any misconduct; it was not under any obligation to ensure he received the Report, or to ensure that Pia's address on file with the Court was current. The only relevant procedural error here is this: because the Court received Pia's notice of his new address after the Report had been sent to his old, outdated address, Pia appears not to have received the Report in time to file any objections to it. To remedy the mailing error, however, and to give Pia the opportunity to explain why he believes the Report's legal or factual conclusions are wrong, the Court directed that the Report be mailed to his current address, and granted him an additional two weeks to object to it. That remains in effect: Pia may submit any objections to the Report by June 3, 2021. But Pia's letter does not otherwise provide any basis on which to reconsider the Court's prior rulings, to impose sanctions against the Government, or to grant Pia any other relief. Nor does it provide a basis for Pia's charges of corruption and bad faith against the Court and Government. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to Pia. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 5/28/2021) (ks) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing. Modified on 5/28/2021 (ks).
May 26, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 34 LETTER from F.

May 20, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 33 ORDER re: #29 Report and Recommendations,The Court has received a letter from plaintiff Frederick D. Pia, responding to the Court's recent decision adopting U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses's report and recommendation that his claim for $146 million in lost-business damages be dismissed for failure to comply with the presentment requirement of the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"). See Dkt. 32. Pina states that he did not receive a copy of the report and recommendation in time to submit his objections because he had changed address before the report was mailed, and that he did not receive it. It appears that Pina notified the Court of his change in address, but that the Court received that notice only after the report issued and was mailed to his old address. See Dkts. 2930. To ensure that Pina has a full opportunity to be heard on his claims, the Court grants Pina an additional two weeks, until June 3, 2021, to submit any objections to the report. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order and the report and recommendation at docket 29 to Pina at the most recent address on file. SO ORDERED.
