Ronald X. Gordon has filed a motion for *920 leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and other motions in this appeal from the district court’s dismissal of his civil complaint for lack of jurisdiction and denial of his motion for leave to appeal IFP.

“This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion, if necessary.” Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). “[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, --- U.S. ---, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 2366, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).

Within ten days of the district court’s judgment, Gordon filed 1) an October 17, 2006, amended complaint and an emergency application for injunctive relief, 2) an October 18, 2006, “application for immediate emergency relief for governmental intervention for enforcement of act of congress,” and 3) an October 31, 2006, “relator’s statement of emergency for enforcement of act of congress.” We construe Gordon’s motions as timely seeking relief under Fed.R.CivP. 59(e), rendering the notice of appeal ineffective until the district court enters an order disposing of the motions. Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(i). Gordon’s notice of appeal is, therefore, ineffective.

Consequently, this case must be remanded, and the record returned, so that the district court may rule on Gordon’s post-judgment motions “as expeditiously as possible, consistent with a just and fair disposition thereof.” Burt v. Ware, 14 F.3d 256, 261 (5th Cir. 1994). The clerk of this court shall process the appeal immediately upon the return of the case from the district court.

LIMITED REMAND; APPEAL HELD IN ABEYANCE.
