       2                      Opinion of the Court                  24-10280

                            ____________________

       Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Although Kenneth Doctor’s construed motion for reconsid-
       eration was timely to toll the time to appeal from the district
       court’s September 14, 2023 final judgment until the motion’s dis-
       position, Doctor did not timely appeal. Because the district court
       denied the motion on October 17, 2023, the 30-day statutory time
       limit required Doctor to file a notice of appeal on or before No-
       vember 16, 2023 to appeal the judgment or the October 17 order.
       See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, he did
       not file a notice of appeal until January 16, 2024, which is the date
       he provided the notice to prison officials for mailing. See Jeffries v.
       United States, 748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014). Further, there is
       no basis in the record for relief under Federal Rules of Appellate
       Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6). Accordingly, the notice of appeal can-
       not invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Green v. Drug Enf’t Admin.,
       606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
             All pending motions are DENIED as moot. 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.
