Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. Although Kenneth Doctor’s construed motion for reconsid- eration was timely to toll the time to appeal from the district court’s September 14, 2023 final judgment until the motion’s dis- position, Doctor did not timely appeal. Because the district court denied the motion on October 17, 2023, the 30-day statutory time limit required Doctor to file a notice of appeal on or before No- vember 16, 2023 to appeal the judgment or the October 17 order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, he did not file a notice of appeal until January 16, 2024, which is the date he provided the notice to prison officials for mailing. See Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014). Further, there is no basis in the record for relief under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6). Accordingly, the notice of appeal can- not invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
All pending motions are DENIED as moot. No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it complies with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R. 40-3 and all other applicable rules.
