PER CURIAM.
1Carolyn Colvin has been appointed to serve as Acting Commissioner of the
Social Security Administration, and is substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal
Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c).

-- 1 of 2 --

Jamila Reeves appeals the district court’s2 order dismissing as untimely her
civil action for review of the denial of social security benefits. Upon careful review,
we conclude that the action was untimely because Reeves commenced it beyond the
60-day filing deadline in 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). See Bess v. Barnhart, 337 F.3d 988,
989 (8th Cir. 2003) (per curiam). We also conclude that she is not entitled to
equitable tolling of the deadline because she failed to explain how any of her health
conditions prevented her from timely filing the action. See Thompson v. Comm’r of
SSA, 919 F.3d 1033, 1036-38 (8th Cir. 2019).
Accordingly, we affirm.
