SHAWN CONNORS v. LIVINGSTON PARISH SHERIFF'S OFFICE THROUGH SHERIFF WILLIE GRAVES, DEPUTY BRIAN SMITH, AND DEPUTY BEN SMITH. ORDER JOHN PARKER, Senior District Judge This matter is before the court on a "motion to dismiss untimely appeal" filed by defendants, Sheriff Graves and Deputies Brian and Ben Smith (doc. 45). Prior to filing this motion, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals (doc. 44) of the court's judgment of dismissal dated December 27, 2007. The notice of appeal would divest this court of jurisdiction to consider the current motion, however, the district court has no subject matter jurisdiction to consider such an appeal to a higher court in any event.
