2 Opinion of the Court 24-12582 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 1:20-cv-02377-WMR ____________________ Before ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. The 30-day statutory time limit required Moussa Diarra, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, to file a notice of appeal from the district court’s June 26, 2024 order denying his motions for postjudgment relief on or before July 26, 2024. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Diarra’s notice of appeal, how- ever, was not deemed filed, under the prison mailbox rule, until July 31, 2024. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1); Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014). Further, to the extent Diarra also seeks to appeal the district court’s underlying February 19, 2021 or- der and judgment dismissing his action, the notice of appeal is un- timely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Accord- ingly, the notice of appeal is untimely and cannot invoke our ap- pellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).

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.
