Pursuant to his guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, Kevin Coe was sentenced on 24 August 2011 to, inter alia, 92-months imprisonment. He filed a notice of appeal contesting the sentence; a judgment, however, was never entered.

Without objection from the Government, the district court re-sentenced Coe on 29 September 2011 to, inter alia, 80-months imprisonment. Judgment was entered on 11 October 2011.

Although raised by neither party, the district court lacked jurisdiction to re-sentence Coe. This court must examine sua sponte the basis of its own jurisdiction. United States v. West, 240 F.3d 456, 458 (5th Cir. 2001).

Within 14 days of sentencing, a district court may “correct a sentence that resulted from arithmetical, technical, or other clear error”. Fed.R.Crim.P. 35(a). This time limit is jurisdictional and strictly construed. United States v. Lopez, 26 F.3d 512, 518-23 (5th Cir. 1994) (district court lacked jurisdiction to reconsider sentence outside Rule 35 time limit).

Therefore, under Rule- 35(a), the district court had until 7 September 2011 to correct or modify Coe’s original sentence; it lacked jurisdiction, however, to re-sentence him on 29 September 2011. Accordingly, the later-imposed sentence and its corresponding entry of judgment are void.

*958 Because judgment as to Coe’s original sentence was never entered on the criminal docket, he had no judgment from which to appeal. Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A) (defendant must appeal within 14 days of entry of judgment); Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(6) (judgment entered for purposes of Rule 4(b) when entered on criminal docket). Entry of judgment as to Coe’s 24 August 2011, original sentence will perfect his appeal. Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(2) (notice of appeal filed after announcement of sentence, but before entry of judgment, is treated as filed on date entry occurs).

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
