Paul E. Knight, pro se, Appellant.

Kenneth S. Steely, General Counsel, and Beverly Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Appellees.

Per Curiam. DISMISSED. See Banks v. State , 916 So. 2d 35, 35 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005) (dismissing appeal for lack of jurisdiction because, like "an order denying indigency status, an interlocutory order granting indigency status and imposing a lien on a prisoner's trust account for payment of court costs and fees is not an immediately appealable order"); Brown v. Campion , 757 So. 2d 535, 536 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000) (converting certiorari petition back to an appeal and dismissing for lack of jurisdiction because an order denying a request for indigent status in a civil case is not appealable, either as a final order or as a non-final order listed in Fla. R. App. P. 9.130 ). This dismissal is without prejudice to Mr. Knight's right to seek review of any order on his indigency status upon a final disposition in his underlying case. See Banks , 916 So. 2d at 35. All pending motions are hereby denied as moot.

Roberts, Nordby, and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
