United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ JIMMIE MCIVER, Plaintiff-Appellant v. DENIS MCDONOUGH, Secretary of Veterans Af- fairs, Defendant-Appellee ______________________ 2024-1967 ______________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in No. 1:17-cv-01893-RC, Judge Ru- dolph Contreras. ______________________ Before DYK, REYNA, and CHEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER In response to this court’s July 25, 2024 show cause or- der, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs urges dismissal of this appeal as untimely. Jimmie McIver has not re- sponded.

Mr. McIver filed the underlying complaint asserting employment discrimination by the Department of Veterans Affairs. On November 15, 2018, the district court Case: 24-1967 Document: 14 Page: 2 Filed: 10/01/2024

2 MCIVER v. MCDONOUGH

dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction. On June 14, 2024, Mr. McIver filed a notice of appeal directed to this court from the November 15, 2018 decision. “[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). Because no court of appeal would have jurisdiction over an appeal filed over five years after the judgment being appealed, we dismiss.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
