       2                       Opinion of the Court                   23-13555

                             ____________________

       Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. The 30-day statutory time limit required Elgin Bell to file a
       notice of appeal from the district court’s February 14, 2020 final
       judgment on or before March 16, 2020. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a);
       Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), 26(a)(1)(C). However, under the prison
       mailbox rule, Bell did not file his notice of appeal until October 19,
       2023. See Jeffries v. United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014)
       (noting that a pro se prisoner’s notice of appeal is deemed filed on
       the date that he delivered it to prison authorities for mailing). Fur-
       ther, there is no basis in the record for relief under Federal Rule of
       Appellate Procedure 4(a)(6). Accordingly, the notice of appeal is
       untimely and cannot invoke our appellate 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.
