George Walter Hayman, currently confined to the Arkansas State Hospital,

appeals following the district court’s1

 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.

Appellate Case: 04-2219 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/15/2004 Entry ID: 1822242 
-2-

Having carefully reviewed the record, we dismiss the appeal as untimely, because

Hayman filed his notice of appeal (NOA) almost thirteen months after the district

court entered judgment, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1) (in civil case where agency of

United States is not party, NOA must be filed within 30 days of district court’s entry

of judgment), and Hayman failed 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 NOA 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.”).
