IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-40146

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

DANNY VARNER,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 6:13-CR-4-1

Before BENAVIDES, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Danny Varner pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 

methamphetamine and was sentenced to 188 months of imprisonment and 

three years of supervised release. He contends that the district court plainly 

erred in applying the career offender enhancement. The Government contends 

that Varner’s notice of appeal was untimely and his appeal should be 

dismissed.

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

Varner’s notice of appeal was filed well beyond the deadlines for filing a 

notice of appeal and requesting an extension of time. See FED. R. APP. P. 

4(b)(1)(A)(i), (b)(4). When, as in this case, the Government objects to an 

untimely notice of appeal, we will not disregard the matter. See Eberhart v. 

United States, 546 U.S. 12, 18 (2005).

Varner’s appeal is DISMISSED as untimely.
