                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:21-CV-884

   Before Stewart, Haynes, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Prentise Emmanuel Prather, former Montgomery County Jail inmate
   # 331283, has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on
   appeal from the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit as

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
Case: 21-20376      Document: 00516280425           Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/14/2022

                                     No. 21-20376

   frivolous, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Because Prather’s notice
   of appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A);
   see also Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007). Accordingly, the appeal is
   DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Prather’s motion for leave to proceed
   IFP on appeal is DENIED.
