JUDGES M. MONICA ZAMORA, Chief Judge. WE CONCUR: JULIE J. VARGAS, Judge, KRISTINA BOGARDUS, Judge AUTHOR: M. MONICA ZAMORA MEMORANDUM OPINION M. ZAMORA, Chief Judge. {1} Defendants, self-represented litigants, appeal from the district court’s judgment, after a jury trial, for compensatory and punitive damages. In this Court’s notice of proposed disposition, we proposed to dismiss based on an untimely notice of appeal.

Defendants and Plaintiff filed memoranda in opposition and support, respectively, which we have duly considered. By their MIO, Defendants essentially argue that the appellate rules regarding the deadlines for filing notices of appeal are contradictory. Plaintiff argues that not only are there no conflicts or ambiguities regarding the deadlines for filing notices of appeal in our appellate rules, but, in any event, Defendants are not entitled to an additional nineteen-day extension beyond the thirty-day extension, which the district court denied. We are unpersuaded that there is any conflict or ambiguity in the appellate rules regarding deadlines for filing notices of appeal. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in our notice of proposed disposition and herein, we dismiss the appeal as untimely. {2} IT IS SO ORDERED.

M. MONICA ZAMORA, Chief Judge WE CONCUR: JULIE J. VARGAS, Judge KRISTINA BOGARDUS, Judge
