PER CURIAM.

affirms the judgment for sanctions and dismisses the balance of the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction.
After careful review, this court finds no abuse of discretion in the judgment
for sanctions. See Coonts v. Potts, 316 F.3d 745, 753 (8th Cir. 2003) (standard of
review). As the notice of appeal was filed more than 30 days after the judgment
granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss, this court does not have jurisdiction to
review the dismissal order. See Dieser v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 440 F.3d 920, 923 (8th
Cir. 2006) (timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional).
The judgment for sanctions is affirmed and the balance of the appeal is
dismissed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
