Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 3:24-CV-116 ______________________________

Before Southwick, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

Larry Bryant appeals the dismissal of his employment discrimination action. Because the judgment was entered on October 22, 2024, he had until November 21, 2024, to file a timely notice of appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a). However, Bryant did not file his notice until November 25, 2024, and he was denied an extension of time to appeal. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction.
