PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-3029 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/13/2016 Entry ID: 4398564 
Claud Gaines appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary judgment

in his pro se employment-discrimination action. The district court entered judgment

against him on July 16, 2015. His notice of appeal was filed on August 24, 2015,

more than 30 days later. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (30 days to appeal in civil

case), 26(a) (computing time). This court therefore lacks jurisdiction over this

untimely appeal. See Dieser v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 440 F.3d 920, 923 (8th Cir. 2006)

(requirement of timely NOA is mandatory and jurisdictional; federal court will raise

jurisdiction issues sua sponte). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
