USDC No. 7:97-CR-10
Before Smith, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
Carol Morris filed a notice of appeal (“NOA”) on September 13,
2021. We must examine the basis of our jurisdiction. See Hill v. City of Seven
Points, 230 F.3d 167, 169 (5th Cir. 2000).
The NOA fails to designate the judgment or order that Morris wants
*
Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opin-

this court to review. The NOA does not comply with Rule 3(c)(1)(B) of the
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, which requires that the NOA identify
the judgment or appealable order from which the appeal is taken. See Fed.
R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B); Smith v. Barry, 502 U.S. 244, 248 (1992).
We do not have jurisdiction over Morris’s appeal, which is therefore
DISMISSED. Morris’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
DENIED as moot.
