Before RILEY, MAGILL, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Richard Dickerson (Dickerson) appeals following the district court’s1 adverse
grant of summary judgment in his employment-discrimination suit. We dismiss the
appeal as untimely, because Dickerson failed to file his notice of appeal within thirty
days after the district court entered its judgment, as required under Federal Rule of

      1
        The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1), or to move timely, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 4(a)(5), for an extension of time to appeal, see Fed. R. App. P. 26(b)(1)
(court may not extend time to file notice of appeal except as authorized by Rule 4).

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Burgs v. Johnson County, Iowa, 

, 702 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).
