                                          No. 23-60136

   Before Clement, Elrod, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          James A. Lambert, Mississippi prisoner # 162664, moves for leave to
   proceed in forma pauperis on appeal from the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
   lawsuit for failure to state a claim. We must examine the basis of our juris-
   diction, sua sponte, if necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir.
   1987). Because Lambert’s notice of appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction.
   Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); see Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).
   Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Lambert’s
   motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED.
