PER CURIAM:
David Greene, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the magistrate
judge’s recommendation and dismissing with prejudice Greene’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e), 1915A. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.
In civil cases, parties have 30 days after the entry of the district court’s final
judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court
extends the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) or reopens the appeal period under
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). “[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a
jurisdictional requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).
The district court entered its order on April 10, 2025. Greene filed the notice of
appeal on May 14, 2025. Because Greene failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to
obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
