Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Jose Raul Mendez, federal prisoner # 42794-177, was sentenced to 120 months in prison for illegal reentry following'deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The district court entered the judgment of conviction on March 11, 2013. Mendez filed a pro se notice of appeal on October 26, 2015, more than two and one-half years after entry of the judgment and well beyond the time for appealing and the time for extending the appeal period. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A), (b)(4). Mendez's appeal, which is far outside the time limit, is frivolous. See United States v. Leijano-Cruz, 473 F.3d 571, 574 (5th Cir.2006). Consequently, the appeal is DISMISSED, see 5th Cir. R. 42.2, and Mendez's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir, R. 47.5.4.
