In addition, Ms. Bouey’s amended notice of appeal is untimely to appeal from the district court’s post-judgment order entered on February 4, 2016, because it was filed outside the 30-day time period to appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), 26(a)(1)(C). Accordingly, Appellee Orange County Service Unit’s motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction is Case: 17-11337 Date Filed: 08/09/2017 Page: 2 of 2 GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
