PER CURIAM:

Filiberto Campos seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to Respondent

on Campos’s

28 U.S.C. § 2254

petition. 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 May 29, 2025, and the appeal period expired

on June 30, 2025. Campos filed the notice of appeal on July 16, 2025. * Because Campos

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

* For the purpose of this appeal, we assume that the date appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date Campos could have delivered the notice to prison officials for mailing to the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1); Houston v. Lack,

487 U.S. 266, 276

(1988).
