MEMORANDUM **

Derek Andrew Medina appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 37-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We dismiss.

The government seeks the dismissal of this appeal as untimely. Although Medina received an extension of time to file a notice of appeal (“NOA”), he did not file his NOA within the time permitted by the Federal Rules. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)®, (b)(4). We must, therefore, dismiss. See United States v. Sadler, 480 F.3d 932, 942 (9th Cir. 2007) (when the government objects to the untimely filing of an NOA, dismissal is mandatory).

DISMISSED.
