                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Southern District of Georgia

       2                       Order of the Court                 23-13852

       Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. The 30-day statutory time limit required James Taylor to file
       a notice of appeal from the district court’s May 1, 2023 final judg-
       ment on or before May 31, 2023. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R.
       App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, Taylor did not file a notice of appeal
       until November 17, 2023.
              Further, there is no basis in the record for relief under Fed-
       eral Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6) because Taylor
       did not move to extend or reopen the appeal period or indicate in
       his notice of appeal that he failed to receive formal notice of the
       entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) (providing that a
       party may move to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal
       within 30 days of entry of final judgment); see Fed. R. App. P.
       4(a)(6)(A) (providing that the court may reopen the time to file an
       appeal for a period of 14 days where a party does not receive notice
       of the entry of the judgment). Accordingly, the notice of appeal is
       untimely and cannot invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Hamer
       v. Neighborhood Hous. Servs. of Chi., 138 S. Ct. 13, 21 (2017).
              No petition for rehearing may be filed unless it complies
       with the timing and other requirements of 11th Cir. R. 40-3 and all
       other applicable rules.
