PER CURIAM:
John V. Gough, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
order granting Appellees’ motions for summary judgment on his
civil rights complaint. We dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.
Parties are accorded 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’s order was entered on the docket on
June 8, 2016. * The notice of appeal was filed on August 25,
2016. Because Gough failed to file a timely notice of appeal or
to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we
deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
*
Gough’s notice of appeal incorrectly identifies April 7,
2016, as the date that the judgment was entered.

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
