Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Danny VARNER, Defendant-Appellant
No. 15-40146 Summary Calendar
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
Filed January 10, 2017
Traci Lynne Kenner, William D. Baldwin, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Texas, Tyler, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
L. Charles Van Cleef, Van Cleef Law Office, Longview, TX, for Defendant-Appellant
Before BENAVIDES, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Danny Varner pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphet amine 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.
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)®, (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, 126 S.Ct. 403, 163 L.Ed.2d 14 (2005).
Varner's appeal is DISMISSED as untimely.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R, 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
