PER CURIAM.

Johnny Hite appeals following the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment in his employment-discrimination and retaliation suit. We dismiss the

appeal as untimely, because Hite failed to file his notice of appeal within thirty days

after the district court entered its judgment, as required under Federal Rule of

Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1), or to move timely, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 4(a)(5), for an extension of time to appeal, see Fed. R. App. P. 26(b)(1)

(court may not extend time to file notice of appeal except as authorized by Rule 4). 

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal, see Burgs v. Johnson County, Iowa, 79

F.3d 701, 702 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam) (“A timely notice of appeal is mandatory

and jurisdictional.”), and we deny as moot Hite’s motion for appellate counsel.
