2 Opinion of the Court 25-11405

Before JILL PRYOR, BRANCH, and KIDD, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic- tion. Demerick Killion, pro se, filed a notice of appeal that, liberally construed, seeks review of the district court’s March 20, 2024, order and judgment dismissing the action. The 30-day statutory time limit required Killion to file a notice of appeal on or before April 19, 2024. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010). How- ever, Killion did not file his notice of appeal until April 24, 2025. Further, Killion is not entitled to relief under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6). First, he did not file a timely motion to extend the appeal period. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A). Second, he did not timely file anything that could be construed as a motion to reopen the appeal period. See id. R. 4(a)(6) (requiring motions to reopen the appeal period to be filed with 14 days of receipt of notice or 180 days of entry, whichever is earlier, of the challenged order). Finally, to any extent that Killion seeks to challenge the dis- trict court’s order denying him leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, that is not a final and appealable order. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5) & advisory committee notes (1967) (describing that the rule “establishes a subsequent motion in the court of appeals, ra- ther than an appeal . . . as the proper procedure for calling in USCA11 Case: 25-11405 Document: 15-1 Date Filed: 07/08/2025 Page: 3 of 3
