      2                      Opinion of the Court                 23-14209

                           ____________________

      Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges.
      PER CURIAM:
             This appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdic-
      tion. The 30-day statutory time limit required William Ellis to file
      a notice of appeal from the district court’s order entered on Octo-
      ber 3, 2023 by November 2, 2023. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R.
      App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). However, Ellis did not file his notice of appeal
      until December 18, 2023.
              Further, there is no basis in the record for relief under Fed-
      eral Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6) because Ellis did
      not move to extend or reopen the appeal period or indicate in his
      notice of appeal that he failed to receive formal notice of the entry
      of the order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) (providing that a party may
      move to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal within 30 days
      of entry of final judgment); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6)(A) (providing
      that the court may reopen the time to file an appeal for a period of
      14 days where a party does not receive notice of the entry of the
      order). Accordingly, the notice of appeal is untimely and cannot
      invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Hamer v. Neighborhood Hous.
      Servs. of Chi., 138 S. Ct. 13, 21 (2017).
             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.
