John David McBride seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2), 1915A (2000) and Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

Parties are given thirty days after the entry of the district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1), unless the district court extends the appeal period under Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5) or reopens the appeal period under Fed. RApp. P. 4(a)(6). This appeal period is “mandatory and jurisdictional.” Browder v. Dir., Dep’t of Corr., 434 U.S. 257, 264, 98 S.Ct. 556, 54 L.Ed.2d 521 (1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 361 U.S. 220, 229, 80 S.Ct. 282, 4 L.Ed.2d 259 (1960)).

The district court’s order adopting the magistrate’s recommendation was entered on the docket on July 9, 2004. McBride filed a timely motion for reconsideration on July 21, 2004. The district court’s order denying McBride’s motion was entered on the docket on August 2, 2004. The notice of appeal was filed on September 25, *159 2004. * Because McBride failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
