2 HANNAH CURRY v. SHINSEKI

64 days had elapsed between judgment and receipt of the appeal. An appeal from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims must be received within 60 days from the date of entry of judgment. See 38 U.S.C. § 7292(a); 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1). This filing period is statutory, mandatory, and jurisdictional. Bowles v. Rus- sell, 551 U.S. 205 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that may not be waived); Henderson v. Shinseki, 131 S. Ct. 1197, 1204-05 (2011) (noting Congress’s intent to impose the same jurisdictional restrictions on an appeal from the Veterans Court to the Federal Circuit as on an appeal from a district court to a court of appeals). Ms. Curry’s appeal was not received by the court within the statutory period. Thus, we must dismiss her appeal. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion to dismiss is granted. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs. FOR THE COURT
