____________________

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Georgia

D.C. Docket No. 1:24-cv-02647-MHC

____________________

Before ROSENBAUM, BRANCH, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. Fabian D. Woods, Jr., was required to file a notice of appeal 

from the district court’s August 28, 2024, order and judgment dismissing his complaint by September 27, 2024. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, his notice of appeal 

was not deemed filed until October 16, 2024. See Fed. R. App. P. 

4(c)(1); Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014) 

(explaining that, under the prison mailbox rule, if the date on which 

a prisoner delivered his notice of appeal to prison authorities for 

mailing is not known, and absent contrary evidence, we assume 

that the prisoner delivered his notice to the authorities on the date 

he signed it). Accordingly, Woods’s notice is untimely and cannot 

invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 

F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).

No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it complies 

with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R. 40-3 and all 

other applicable rules.
