Notice: Eighth Circuit Rule 28a(k) Governs Citation of Unpublished Opinions and Provides That They Are Not Precedent and Generally Should Not Be Cited Unless Relevant to Establishing the Doctrines of Res Judicata, Collateral Estoppel, the Law of the Case, or if the Opinion Has Persuasive Value on a Material Issue and No Published Opinion Would Serve As Well.eddie Lawrence, Appellant,missouri Department of Corrections; Capital Correctionalresource, Inc.; Gregg County Correctionalfacility, Appellees, 133 F.3d 922 (8th Cir. 1998)

Eddie Lawrence, a Missouri inmate, brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against prison officials. The district court¹  dismissed the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, entering judgment on July 23, 1997. Lawrence's notice of appeal bears the date August 23, 1997, and there is no indication he deposited it in the prison mail system by August 22, the thirtieth day after entry of judgment. We thus conclude that his appeal is untimely and that we lack jurisdiction. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (1), 4(c), 26; Hable v. Pairolero, 915 F.2d 394, 394 (8th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
