PER CURIAM:

Ronald Satish Emrit seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil

complaint for lack of jurisdiction. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because

the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

When the United States or its officer or agency is a party in a civil case, the notice

of appeal must be filed no more than 60 days after the entry of the district court’s final

judgment or order, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B), 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 July 6, 2023. Emrit filed the notice of appeal

on September 22, 2023. Because Emrit 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
