PER CURIAM:

Craig M. Henson seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil action

pursuant to

(e)(2)(B). 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,

(2007).

The district court entered its order on July 26, 2023. Henson filed the notice of

appeal on September 1, 2023. Because Henson 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
