Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jose Francisco Alvarez appeals from the 121-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we dismiss.
Francisco Alvarez filed his notice of appeal ("NOA") on November 8, 2010, almost one year after the November 17, 2009, entry of judgment. His appeal is, therefore, untimely. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A). Because the government properly objected to the timeliness of the NOA, we must dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Sadler, 480 F.3d 932, 941-42 (9th Cir.2007).
We find no basis to interpret this claim as an action brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
DISMISSED.
