Docket

*2 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, HAYNES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:*

Wayne Gordon appeals, pro se , from a magistrate judge’s order deferring initial disclosures and the district court’s without-prejudice dismissal conditioned on execution of settlement agreement. The Court’s examination of the record reveals that there is no such order by a magistrate judge, and even if there were, it is not a final judgment and was not appealed to the district court. [1] Moreover, the district court’s dismissal from which Gordon appeals was a dismissal without prejudice as the district court retained jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement. [2] Even if we construe Gordon’s appeal to be from the district court’s final dismissal with prejudice, he consented to that dismissal as a term of the settlement he agreed to. [3] Thus, this Court lacks jurisdiction. The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

[*] Pursuant to 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5.4.
