PER CURIAM:
Sebastian X. Moore seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil
action without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. 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 December 20, 2021. Moore filed the notice
of appeal on July 19, 2022. Because Moore failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to
obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We deny
Moore’s motion to show cause and his motion to expedite and remand.
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
