PER CURIAM:

Angela T. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing her civil

action under

(e)(2)(B)(i)-(ii) as frivolous and for failure to state a claim

on which relief may be granted. 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 August 22, 2024, and the appeal period expired

on September 23, 2024. Williams filed the notice of appeal on October 8, 2024. 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
