PER CURIAM.
       Claud Gaines appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his pro se employment-discrimination action. The district court entered judgment
against him on July 16, 2015. His notice of appeal was filed on August 24, 2015,
more than 30 days later. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (30 days to appeal in civil
case), 26(a) (computing time). This court therefore lacks jurisdiction over this
untimely appeal. See Dieser v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 440 F.3d 920, 923 (8th Cir. 2006)
(requirement of timely NOA is mandatory and jurisdictional; federal court will raise
jurisdiction issues sua sponte). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
                        ______________________________
