USCA4 Appeal: 23-1023 Doc: 11 Filed: 07/24/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Nikki G. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and granting summary judgment in favor of defendant TD Bank, N.A., in Williams’ action alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

In civil cases, parties have 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 entered its order on December 5, 2022. Williams filed the notice of appeal on January 9, 2023. Because Williams 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
