PER CURIAM.
Clara Reece Fuller, an African-American woman, appeals the district court’s1
grant of summary judgment in favor of her former employer, Alliant Energy, on her
claims of race, sex, and disability discrimination. Because we conclude that Fuller’s
notice of appeal was untimely filed thirty-one days after the district court entered
judgment, and the thirtieth day did not fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,
we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (in civil
cases, NOA must be filed within 30 days after entry of judgment or order), 26(a)

The Honorable Mark W. Bennett, United States District Judge for the Northern

2008) (timely NOA is mandatory and jurisdictional); Dieser v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 440
F.3d 920, 923 (8th Cir. 2006) (court will raise jurisdictional issues sua sponte).
