Benjamin Wayne McCoin, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: July 10, 1997 Filed: July 16, 1997 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Benjamin Wayne McCoin, confined at the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (MCFP), Springfield, Missouri, appeals the district court’s1 judgment committing him to the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4246.

Because McCoin’s notice of appeal was not filed within the sixty-day time period provided by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1), we lack jurisdiction. See

The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable James C. England, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Missouri.

United States v. Vanornum, 912 F.2d 1023, 1025 (8th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, we dismiss. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
