Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 1:23-cv-21379-BB ____________________
Before BRANCH, LUCK, and KIDD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Drummond appeals from the district court's June 13, 2023 order discharging the lis pendens on three relevant properties. After he filed his appeal, the district court remanded the case to state court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We have determined in a related appeal that we do not have jurisdic- tion to review that remand order, leading Drummond to suggest that this appeal is now moot.
Because the district court concluded that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this action and we cannot review that de- termination, there is no live controversy as to the lis pendens rul- ing. See Zinni v. ER Solutions, Inc., 692 F.3d 1162, 1166 (11th Cir. 2012) (explaining that we lack jurisdiction when there is not a live controversy for which we can grant meaningful relief); Al Najjar v. Ashcroft, 273 F.3d 1330, 1340 (11th Cir. 2001) ("When a case be- comes moot on appeal . . . [we] must not only dismiss the case, but
2
23-12135 Opinion of the Court 3 also vacate the district court's order."). Accordingly, we DISMISS this appeal and VACATE the district court's June 13, 2023 order.
