2 CALDERON LOPEZ v. JACKSON

PER CURIAM. ORDER Ricardo Jose Calderon Lopez moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The court dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. On March 10, 2022, the district court dismissed Mr. Calderon Lopez’s complaint directed at various federal judges. Mr. Calderon Lopez appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which dismissed for failure to prosecute on June 21, 2022. On June 14, 2024, Mr. Calderon Lopez filed a notice of ap- peal from the “3/10/22” decision. ECF No. 1-2 at 1. “[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), and, in order to be timely, a notice of ap- peal must generally be filed within 60 days after entry of final judgment when a case involves United States officers, 28 U.S.C. § 2107; Fed. R. App. P. 4. Here, Mr. Calderon Lopez’s notice of appeal, filed more than 2 years after the district court entered final judgment, is clearly untimely. For at least this reason, we and any other court of appeals lack jurisdiction. Accordingly, Case: 24-2046 Document: 5 Page: 3 Filed: 07/25/2024

CALDERON LOPEZ v. JACKSON 3
