No. 19-60829

“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 this court of jurisdiction.

Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 213-14 (2007). Because Mills, who was not incarcerated when his complaint was dismissed, did not file a timely notice of appeal from the district court’s judgment, we lack jurisdiction over the instant appeal. See Bowles, 551 U.S. at 213-14; United States v. Clark, 193 F.3d 845, 846 n.3 (5th Cir. 1999); FED. R. APP. P. 4(a)(1)(A).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

Mills’s motion requesting judicial review, his motion for the appointment of counsel, and any other outstanding motions are DENIED.
