2 Opinion of the Court 26-10961 Before GRANT, LAGOA, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. David Link, pro se, appeals the district court’s September 10, 2024 order dismissing his action, for which judgment is deemed en- tered on February 7, 2025. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(7)(A)(ii); Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a). The 30-day statutory deadline required Link to file a notice of appeal on or before March 10, 2025. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); id. R. 26(a)(1)(C). However, Link’s notice is deemed as filed on March 13, 2026, the date on which it was received by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(d) (providing that when a notice of appeal is mistakenly filed in an appellate court, the notice is deemed filed on the date the appellate court received it). 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).
