The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., Chief Judge, United States District

Court for the Western District of Missouri.

Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

___________

PER CURIAM.

Richard Connally appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his employmentdiscrimination action. Upon careful review, we dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction because Connally’s December 4 notice of appeal was not filed within 30

days of the October 2 entry of judgment, and his October 27 motion to vacate the

judgment did not toll the time for filing a notice of appeal. See Fed. R. App. P.

4(a)(1)(A) (notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after judgment is entered);

Fed. R. App. 4(a)(4)(A) (if party timely files Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion or Rule 60

motion no later than 10 days after judgment is entered, time to file appeal runs for all

parties from entry of order disposing of last remaining motion); Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)

(motion to alter or amend judgment shall be filed no later than 10 days after entry of

judgment); Arnold v. Wood, 238 F.3d 992, 995-96 (8th Cir. 2001) (time for filing

NOA was not tolled where plaintiff did not file his Rule 59(e) and 60(b) motion

within 10 days of entry of judgment); Dieser v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 440 F.3d 920, 923

(8th Cir. 2006) (timely NOA is mandatory and jurisdictional, and court will raise

jurisdictional issues sua sponte). 

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed, and Connally’s pending motion on appeal

is denied as moot.
