2 Opinion of the Court 25-11795
PER CURIAM: On May 22, 2025, Esean Edwards, proceeding pro se, initi- ated this appeal by filing a notice of appeal that, liberally construed, challenges the district court’s March 6, 2025, entry of judgment in favor of the defendants. Edwards filed a previous notice of appeal challenging that judgment, which initiated appeal number 25-11201. That appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution but has since been reinstated. Two appellees move to dismiss this appeal for lack of juris- diction, arguing that it is untimely and frivolous due to appeal num- ber 25-11201. We lack jurisdiction over this May 22 appeal because it is untimely. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300-01 (11th Cir. 2010). Edwards had until April 7, 2025, to file a notice of appeal from the March 6 judgment, but he did not file this notice of appeal until May 22. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(1)(C); Green, 606 F.3d at 1300-01. Accordingly, we GRANT the motion to dismiss and DISMISS this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The dismissal of this appeal does not impact appeal number 25-11201, which remains pending.
