     Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(l)(A) requires that

the notice of appeal in a civil case be filed with the clerk of

the district court within thirty days after the entry of

judgment.    The judgment in this case was entered on January 19,

2000, and the notice of appeal was therefore required to be filed

on or before February 18, 2000.    The docket sheet reflects that

the notice of appeal was not filed until February 22, 2000.   A

        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent

timely notice of appeal is mandatory and it is jurisdictional.

This appeal must therefore be dismissed.

     DISMISSED.
