Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Gurley E. Glenn seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing as moot the
two postjudgment motions he filed after the district court dismissed his employment
discrimination action. 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 22, 2017. The notice
of appeal was filed on July 31, 2017. Because Glenn 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 contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
