UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
PEYMON MOTTAHEDEH,
Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
D.C. No. 2:08-cv-02740-PA-CW
MEMORANDUM*
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
Percy Anderson, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 19, 2010**
Before: O'SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
Peymon Mottahedeh appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment for the United States in its action seeking to reduce federal income tax assessments to judgment. We dismiss.
We lack jurisdiction to review the underlying judgment because Mottahedeh's notice of appeal was filed more than sixty days after entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B); Hostler v. Groves, 912 F.2d 1158, 1160 (9th Cir. 1990) ("[W]e must address the question [of appellate jurisdiction] sua sponte."); Miller v. Marriott Int'l, Inc., 300 F.3d 1061, 1063 (9th Cir. 2002) ("The filing of an effective notice of appeal is a jurisdictional requirement which cannot be waived."). The motion for reconsideration of the denial of Mottahedeh's motion to suppress evidence did not toll the time to appeal from the judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(A) (listing tolling motions).
DISMISSED.
