PER CURIAM:
Corinthian Stack and Lynn K. Stack seek to appeal the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing their civil complaint
alleging mortgage fraud and other claims without prejudice. 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 dismissing the complaint on November 4, 2021.
The Stacks filed a notice of appeal from that order on December 16, 2021. Because the
Stacks failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the
appeal period, we dismiss the appeal of the November 4, 2021, order.
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
