PER CURIAM:
Emmanuel and Emelia Uzoma seek to appeal the district
court’s order granting the Defendants’ motions to dismiss their
civil action. Defendants have moved to dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely
filed.
Parties are accorded thirty 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’s order was entered on the docket
on March 27, 2014. The notice of appeal was filed on June 24,
2014. Because Appellants failed to file a timely notice of
appeal or obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period,
we grant the motions to dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. We deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
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
