____________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 1:22-cv-03606-SEG USCA11 Case: 23-13885 Document: 13-1 Date Filed: 06/11/2024 Page: 2 of 2
2 Opinion of the Court 23-13885 ____________________ Before ROSENBAUM, NEWSOM, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction because Torrence Sanders’s notice of appeal, deemed filed on No- vember 13, 2023, was untimely to appeal from the district court’s September 5, 2023 final order and judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a). The 30-day, rather than 60-day, appeal deadline applies because Sanders’s action was a § 2254 habeas proceeding challenging his state criminal judgment and neither the United States nor any of its agencies or officials were parties. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B); 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b). Finally, although Sanders moved for an extension of time to appeal below, the district court denied his motion and he has not appealed that denial or indicated that he seeks to challenge it on appeal. Regardless, he was not en- titled to an extension of time to appeal or a reopening of the appeal period because his motion for an extension was not filed within 30 days of his appeal deadline, and he received the final order and judgment within 21 days of their entry. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(c); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6).
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. All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
