Andrade appeals from his conviction and sentence following entry of a guilty plea to conspiring to possess and distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a) (1) and 846. The appeal is untimely, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(b), and no unique circumstances exist to warrant the exercise of jurisdiction over this appeal.**  See United States v. Prairie Pharmacy, Inc., 921 F.2d 211, 213-14 (9th Cir. 1990); Pratt v. McCarthy, 850 F.2d 590, 592 (9th Cir. 1988), reh'g denied, 878 F.2d 331 (1989).

Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED as untimely. We leave to Andrade whatever remedies he may have available under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

We note that counsel for Andrade in the instant appeal is not the same attorney who represented him before the district court and is not responsible for the untimely notice of appeal
