Case: 21-50691        Document: 00516270514       Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/06/2022

                                   No. 21-50691

   dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit as frivolous, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
   § 1915(e)(2)(B).
         Because Hicks’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.
   Hicks’s motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED.
