No. 19-41036

Florence is challenging the district court’s determination that his appeal is not taken in good faith. Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997).

“This court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion, if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). An untimely notice of appeal in a civil case deprives us of jurisdiction. Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 213-14 (2007). Because Florence did not file a timely notice of appeal from the district court’s order denying his motion for recusal and imposing sanctions, we lack jurisdiction over the instant appeal. See id.; Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. The IFP motion and motions to supplement the record are DENIED as moot.
