       2                     Opinion of the Court               23-11821

       JIM UNDERWOOD,
       Former Walker County Sheriﬀ,

                                                  Defendants-Appellees,

       WALKER COUNTY COMMISSION, et al.,

                                                            Defendants.

                           ____________________

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Northern District of Alabama
                     D.C. Docket No. 7:20-cv-00071-LSC
                          ____________________

       Before JILL PRYOR, GRANT, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              The appellees’ motion to dismiss this appeal as untimely is
       GRANTED. Because the district court entered its final order grant-
       ing the remaining defendant’s motion for summary judgment in a
       document apart from a memorandum opinion, the separate docu-
       ment requirement for judgments was satisfied. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
       58(a). Amy Henson was thus required to file a notice of appeal on
       or before January 13, 2023, which was 30 days following the date
       judgment was deemed entered on December 14, 2022. See 28
USCA11 Case: 23-11821     Document: 21-1      Date Filed: 10/04/2023    Page: 3 of 3

       23-11821               Opinion of the Court                        3

       U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), (7)(A)(ii). However,
       Henson did not file her notice of appeal until May 30, 2023.
              Additionally, Henson did not seek relief from the appeal
       deadline under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or
       4(a)(6), and there is no basis in the record for such relief. Accord-
       ingly, the notice of appeal is untimely and cannot invoke our ap-
       pellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296,
       1300 (11th Cir. 2010) (noting that the timely filing of a notice of
       appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement, and we cannot
       entertain an appeal that is out of time).
             Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED.
