2 Opinion of the Court 25-12672 ____________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 4:23-cv-00470-MW-MJF ____________________ Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Tabitha McKenzie, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal that we liberally construe as challenging the dis- trict court’s December 17, 2024 order and judgment dismissing her claims without prejudice and closing the case. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(7) (“An appeal must not be dismissed for informality of form or title of the notice of appeal . . . .”); Rinaldo v. Corbett, 256 F.3d 1276, 1278-80 (11th Cir. 2001) (explaining that we liberally construe the requirements of Rule 3); Carmichael v. United States, 966 F.3d 1250, 1258 (11th Cir. 2020) (explaining that we liberally construe pro se filings).

However, the notice—deemed filed on July 10, 2025 under the prison mailbox rule—is untimely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), (c)(1); Washington v. United States, 243 F.3d 1299, 1301 (11th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010) (explaining that, in civil cases, the timely filing of a notice of appeal is a mandatory prerequisite to the exercise of appellate jurisdiction).
