Vernice Bell v. Weyerhaeuser NR Company

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Verniee Bell seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on her complaint. 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, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).

•’ The district court’s order was ■ entered on the docket on April 29, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed on October'5, 2015. Because Bell failed to file ¿ timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because .the facts and legal conten *204 tions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
