2 Opinion of the Court 25-13907
federal prisoner proceeding pro se, to file a notice of appeal from
the district court’s June 12, 2025 judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. §
2255 motion on or before August 11, 2025. See 28 U.S.C. §
2107(b)(1); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B)(i). However, Kelly’s notice of
appeal is deemed filed, under the prison mailbox rule, on October
27, 2025. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(c). Accordingly, the notice of appeal
is untimely and cannot invoke our appellate jurisdiction. See Green
v. Drug Enf’t Admin., 606 F.3d 1296, 1300 (11th Cir. 2010).
All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
