• explaining that “[m]inisterial [postjudgment] orders do not qualify as decisions under [28 U.S.C.] § 1291”
• noting an “appeal from a later order does not give us jurisdiction to hear an untimely appeal from an earlier order, which was itself an appealable final order” (cleaned up)
• declining to consider evidence outside the appellate record where there were no extraordinary circumstances warranting review because the relevant documents “would make no difference in [the] resolution of [the] appeal”
• “Often, determining whether a district court’s order is final is simple enough. . . . But not always.”
• “The Su- preme Court has held that we lack jurisdiction over ap- peals from ministerial orders.”
• “Ordinarily, material not included in the record on appeal will not be considered.” (quotation marks omitted)
