`
`2 Opinion of the Court 24-12710
`
`Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
`PER CURIAM:
`
`The government has moved to dismiss this appeal as un-
`timely. Okechukwu Amadi’s notice of appeal, deemed filed on Au-
`gust 13, 2024, under the prison mailbox rule, is untimely to chal-
`lenge the amended criminal judgment entered on August 28, 2023.
`See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A) (providing that in criminal cases, a
`defendant’s notice of appeal must be filed within 14 days after the
`entry of the judgment or order being appealed); United States v.
`Lopez, 562 F.3d 1309, 1312-14 (11th Cir. 2009) (holding that we
`must apply Rule 4(b)’s 14-day time limit when the government ob-
`jects to an untimely notice of appeal); Jeffries v. United States,
`748 F.3d 1310, 1314 (11th Cir. 2014) (holding that a pro se prisoner’s
`notice of appeal is deemed filed on the date he delivers it to prison
`authorities, and absent contrary evidence, we assume that a pris-
`
`oner delivers a filing on the date he signs it).
`
`Accordingly, the government’s motion to dismiss is
`GRANTED, and this appeal is DISMISSED. All other pending mo-
`tions are DENIED as moot.
