PER CURIAM:

Jasmine E. Golden seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her

post-judgment motion for additional time to object to the magistrate judge’s

recommendation. 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 May 16, 2024, and the appeal period expired

on June 17, 2024. Golden filed the notice of appeal on July 8, 2024. Because Golden

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
