Before LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM. Salvatore Ballato seeks to appeal the district court’s1 28 U.S.C. § 1915A dismissal of his Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) suit. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because Ballato’s notice of appeal was untimely. See Fed. R. App. P 4(a)(1), 4(c)(1); Burgs v. Johnson County, Iowa, 79 F.3d 701, 702 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam) (timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional). We deny Ballato’s motion to expand the record.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
