Williams
failed to pay the filing fee, and his appeals were dismissed for

Dkt. Nos. 28,
31.
In his Motion, Williams objects to the Eleventh Circuit's
dismissal of his appeals for lack of prosecution based on his
failure to pay the appellate filing fee.
Dkt. No. 30, p. 2.
Williams states the fact that his appeals were dismissed without
a ruling on the merits shows ^'that a
[sic] injunction was filed
without notice as well as no opportunity to be heard was
granted.
Id.
Just dismissed as to the 14 days to pay filing fee."
Williams
attached to his Motion the l e t t e r from the
Eleventh Circuit Clerk of Court informing this Court that
Williams' appeal had been dismissed for failure to prosecute
because Williams had failed to pay the filing fee.
Dkt.
No.
Id. at p. 4;
28.
It is clear Williams mistakenly sent his Motion to this
Court.
Through his Motion, he seeks relief from the Eleventh
Circuit Court of Appeals' dismissal and judgment, not from the
judgment of this Court.

Motion.
Consequently, this Court DISMISSES
Should Williams wish to move the Eleventh Circuit Court of
Appeals for relief from its judgment, he must do so by filing a
motion in that Court.
