Before JORDAN, NEWSOM, and KIDD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Joe Pyatt, Jr. appeals from the district court’s March 17, 2025
paperless order denying his motion to dismiss the indictment. He

2 Opinion of the Court 25-11079
sought dismissal of the indictment on the ground that his contin-
ued involuntary hospitalization was unlawful. However, the dis-
trict court’s paperless order is not final, because all counts in the
indictment remain pending, i.e., Pyatt has not been convicted or
sentenced. See Flanagan v. United States, 465 U.S. 259, 263 (1984)
(providing that the rule of finality “prohibits appellate review until
conviction and imposition of sentence”). Moreover, the court’s pa-
perless order is not immediately appealable under the collateral or-
der doctrine. See United States v. Shalhoub, 855 F.3d 1255, 1260 (11th
Cir. 2017) (describing the collateral order doctrine and recognizing
a limited number of orders that implicate the doctrine in a criminal
case).
Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack
of jurisdiction. 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.
