PRENTISE EMMANUEL PRATHER v. CONROE POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS; PATTI MAGINNIS, 435th Judicial Court Judge; WILLIAM PATTILLO, Court Appointed Attorney

No. 21-20376

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit

April 14, 2022

Lyle W. Cayce, Clerk

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:21-CV-884

Before STEWART, HAYNES, and Ho, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Prentise Emmanuel Prather, former Montgomery County Jail inmate # 331283, has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit as frivolous, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Because Prather's notice of appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction. See FED. R. APP. P. 4(a)(1)(A); see also Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Prather's motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED.
