Docket No. 3:25-cv-00164-HES-SJH ____________________ Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and BRANCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: USCA11 Case: 26-13048 Document: 9-1 Date Filed: 11/03/2026 Page: 2 of 3 2 Opinion of the Court 26-13048 John Michael Cohan, proceeding pro se, appeals from the magistrate judge’s order denying his motions to compel a status update from the Chapter 7 trustee of an ongoing bankruptcy pro- ceeding and to expedite the ruling on that motion. Cohan also ap- peals the magistrate judge’s order denying reconsideration of that ruling. The appealed orders are not final because neither order ended the litigation on the merits, and the case remains adminis- tratively stayed pending the duration of the bankruptcy proceeding to which Cohan is an interested party. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291; CSX Transp., Inc. v. City of Garden City, 235 F.3d 1325, 1327 (11th Cir. 2000) (explaining that a final decision ends the litigation on the mer- its and leaves nothing for the district court to do but execute its judgment); Martinez v. Carnival Corp., 744 F.3d 1240, 1244-45 (11th Cir. 2014) (explaining that administratively closing a case is not the same as dismissing a case and is not dispositive of finality). The orders are not immediately appealable under the collat- eral order doctrine because nothing suggests that the orders would be effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment or that delaying review would imperil a substantial public interest. See Acheron Cap., Ltd. v. Mukamal, 22 F.4th 979, 989 (11th Cir. 2022) (ex- plaining that, among other requirements, an order must be effec- tively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment to be appeal- able under the collateral order doctrine); Mohawk Indus., Inc. v. Car- penter, 558 U.S. 100, 107 (2009).
