Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Florida

_________________________

(April 20, 2005) Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and WILSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

In this appeal, appellant challenges the district court’s decision rejecting his Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence as time-barred because the motion was not filed within the three-year limitations period the rule prescribes. Rule 33's limitations periods are jurisdictional. United States v. Bramlett, 116 F. 3d 1403, 1405 (11th Cir. 1997). The district court therefore lacked jurisdiction to consider appellant’s motion.

AFFIRMED.
