Ted Radcliffe, Texas prisoner # 707962, requests a certificate of appealability (COA) to appeal the district court’s dismissal, as time-barred, of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, which he filed to challenge his disciplinary conviction for threatening to escape. Radcliffe has also filed a motion for judicial notice.

“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, 551 U.S. 205, 214, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007). Radcliffe’s motion for an extension of time to file a COA motion was not “the ‘functional equivalent’ ” of a notice of appeal. See Bailey v. Cain, 609 F.3d 763, 765-67 (5th Cir. 2010); Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1). Because Radcliffe did not file a timely notice of appeal, his appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Bowles, 551 U.S. at 214, 127 S.Ct. 2360.

COA DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
