UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 19-2164
MONICA JEFFRIES,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
WAL-MART STORES EAST, LP,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt.
Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:17-cv-00514-PJM)
Submitted: January 21, 2020 Decided: January 23, 2020
Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Monica Jeffries, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Monica Jeffries seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying Jeffries’ motion
for reconsideration of the court’s order dismissing her claims brought pursuant to the
Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101 to 12213 (2018). 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 August 8, 2017. The notice
of appeal was filed on October 21, 2019. Because Jeffries 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 Jeffries’ motion for summary judgment. 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
