Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Benjamin Wayne McCoin, confined at the U.S. Medical Center for Federal
Prisoners (MCFP), Springfield, Missouri, appeals the district court’s1 judgment
committing him to the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4246.
Because McCoin’s notice of appeal was not filed within the sixty-day time period
provided by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1), we lack jurisdiction. See



      1
        The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable James
C. England, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
United States v. Vanornum, 912 F.2d 1023, 1025 (8th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, we
dismiss. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
