2 Opinion of the Court 25-10326 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 3:24-cv-00356-MCR-HTC ____________________ Before ROSENBAUM, NEWSOM, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion.
The 30-day statutory time limit required Matthew Tobin, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, to file a notice of appeal from the district court’s December 13, 2024, final judgment on or before Jan- uary 13, 2025. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A).
However, Tobin’s notice of appeal is not deemed filed, under the prison mailbox rule, until January 22, 2025. See Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014). Further, the record contains no basis for relief under Federal Rules of Appellate Proce- dure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6). See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) (providing that a party may move to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of entry of final judgment); id. R. 4(a)(6)(A) (provid- ing that the court may reopen the time to file an appeal for a period of 14 days where a party does not receive notice of the entry of the judgment). Accordingly, the notice of appeal is untimely and can- not invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
