Summary Calendar

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

JOSE GUADALUPE DIAZ,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. M-00-CR-58-2

--------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Jose Guadalupe Diaz pleaded guilty to a drug trafficking

crime and was sentenced to 262 months imprisonment. His

appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in

accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

“A timely notice of appeal is necessary to the exercise of

appellate jurisdiction.” United States v. Cooper, 135 F.3d 960,

961 (5th Cir. 1998). No timely notice of appeal was filed from

the original judgment, and the amended and re-entered judgments

that made only clerical changes pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 36

did not extend the time for filing a notice of appeal. United

States v. Lewis, 921 F.2d 563, 565 (5th Cir. 1991); see also FED.

R. APP. P. 4(b). The notice of appeal filed almost a year after

entry of the original judgment does not confer jurisdiction on

this court. The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction,

and the motion to withdraw is DENIED AS MOOT.

APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW DENIED AS MOOT.
