       2                       Opinion of the Court                   23-14165

                             ____________________

       Before ROSENBAUM, NEWSOM, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
       tion. Dalvin Denson, proceeding pro se, filed a petition pursuant to
       28 U.S.C. § 2254, which the district court denied in a final judg-
       ment. Denson timely filed a motion that the district court con-
       strued as a motion for an extension of time to appeal from the final
       judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5).
       The district court granted an extension, requiring Denson to file a
       notice of appeal by November 24, 2023. However, Denson did not
       file a notice of appeal until December 20, 2023.
              Denson’s notice of appeal cannot invoke our jurisdiction be-
       cause it was not filed by the extended deadline to appeal. See 28
       U.S.C. § 2107(c); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A); Harris v. Ballard, 158 F.3d
       1164, 1166 (11th Cir. 1998).
              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.
