v.
LIFETIME FITNESS HEALTH CLUB,
Defendant - Appellee.

Maryland, at Baltimore. Catherine C. Blake, Chief District

Courtney Henderson, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Ross Niccolini,
OGLETREE DEAKINS NASH SMOAK & STEWART, PC, Washington, D.C., for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Courtney Henderson seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing her complaint under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to
2000e-17 (2012). We 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 May 19, 2014. The notice of appeal was filed on July 7,
2014. Because Henderson 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
