       2                       Opinion of the Court                   23-12656

                             ____________________

       Before WILSON, GRANT, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Artez Simmons, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals
       the district court’s June 26, 2023, order denying his motion for relief
       under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6). The statutory time limit required
       him to file his notice of appeal by July 26, 2023. See 28 U.S.C.
       § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). The notice of appeal, deemed
       filed on August 5, 2023, which is the date Simmons certified that he
       mailed it from prison, is therefore untimely. See Fed. R. App. P.
       4(c)(1); Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014).
             Additionally, there is no basis for relief under Rule 4(a)(6)
       because Simmons received notice of the court’s order exactly
       21 days after the entry of the order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6);
       28 U.S.C. § 2107(c). Therefore, we lack jurisdiction. See Green v.
       Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
              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.
