OPINION

Chandan S. Vora appeals the January 13, 2006 and February 15, 2006 orders of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania dismissing pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) her “Petition for Removal” for lack of jurisdiction and denying her motion to vacate.

In January 2006, Chandan Vora filed a motion to proceed informa pauperis and a “Petition for Removal,” of a City of Johns-town complaint charging Vora with violation of Johnstown’s property maintenance ordinance relating to the accumulation of garbage on her property. On January 13, 2006, the District Court dismissed the removal petition, concluding that the “Petition for Removal” sought to attack a criminal proceeding over which the District Court had no jurisdiction and that the pleadings failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On February 10, 2006, Vora moved to vacate the dismissal of her removal action. By order entered February 15, 2006, the District Court denied it for the same reasons set forth in its original dismissal order. 1 Vora filed a notice of appeal on March 17, 2006.

First, Vora’s notice of appeal from the order dismissing the petition for removal is clearly untimely under Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1), as it was filed more than one month too late. In a civil case in which the United States is not a party, a notice of appeal must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of entry of the final judgment or order appealed. Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). On September 22, 2004, the District Court granted in forma pauperis and dismissed the Vora’s removal petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) for lack of jurisdiction and as otherwise frivolous. Appellant’s motion to vacate did not toll the appeals period because it was filed more than ten days after entry of the District Court’s order. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(4). Thus, Appellant had until February 12, 2006, to file a timely notice of appeal. Appellant did not file a notice of appeal until March 17, 2006, more than thirty days after entry of judgment. Accordingly, the appeal of the District Court’s January 13, 2006 order is dismissed as untimely. Vora’s appeal of the denial of her motion to vacate is timely, however, and thus, we will consider the appeal of that order.

Vora was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and the appeal is now before the Court for determination pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Under § 1915(e)(2)(B), the Court must dismiss an appeal if it is frivolous or malicious. An action or appeal can be frivolous for either legal or factual reasons. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989).

After reviewing Vora’s District Court pleadings and notice of appeal, we conclude that the motion to vacate was *136 correctly denied. Vora petitioned for removal, presumably under the civil rights removal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1443, alleging that the code violation citation was part of a larger conspiracy by all city personnel to violate her civil rights. The civil rights removal statute applies only to the removal of state court proceedings. Id.; See also 28 U.S.C. § 1447(a). Here, the citation is a proceeding before a district justice on a municipal code violation; it is not a state court criminal proceeding. Even if we assume arguendo that the civil rights removal statute applies to municipal code violation proceedings, Vora’s rambling, generalized, and unsupported allegations do not meet the specific criterion for § 1443 removal. See City of Greenwood v. Peacock, 384 U.S. 808, 827, 86 S.Ct. 1800, 16 L.Ed.2d 944 (1966); Ronan v. Stone, 396 F.2d 502, 503 (1st Cir. 1968). We have no independent reason to believe that the City of Johnstown will not afford Vora any process she is due. Having found no legal merit to this cause, we will dismiss the appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
