                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:18-CV-1106


Before JONES, ELROD, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Mark Anthony Estrada, Texas prisoner # 906481, moves for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in this appeal. By moving this court for leave
to proceed IFP, Estrada is challenging the district court’s determination that


       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                                 No. 18-51010

his appeal is not taken in good faith. Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th
Cir. 1997).
      “This court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion,
if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). An untimely
notice of appeal in a civil case deprives this court of jurisdiction. Bowles v.
Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 213-14 (2007). Because Estrada did not file a timely
notice of appeal from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 lawsuit as frivolous and for failure to state a claim, this court lacks
jurisdiction over the instant appeal. See id.; FED. R. APP. P. 4(a)(1)(A).
      Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. The IFP
motion is DENIED as moot. All remaining outstanding motions are DENIED.
