ORDER No party having filed a response to the court’s June 13, 2024 show cause order, we now dismiss.

2 ARMSTEAD v. BRAGG
“[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). Here, Ms. Armstead’s notice of appeal, filed more than a year after the district court’s April 11, 2023 judgment, is clearly untimely. For at least this rea- son, we and any other court of appeals lack jurisdiction.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
