2 STEWART v. ALFRED A. ARRAJ UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE

violation of 14th am[]endment and wrongful i[m]prison- ment.” Dkt. No. 1 at 5. On January 24, 2022, the district court issued an order construing Mr. Stewart’s filing of a “motion to withdraw the original civil complaint without prejudice,” Dkt. No. 5 at 1, as a notice of voluntary dismis- sal and dismissed the action without prejudice. On April 15, 2025, Mr. Stewart filed a notice of appeal seeking re- view in this court. “[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, Mr. Stewart’s appeal from the dis- trict court’s January 24, 2022 order is more than three years late. For at least this reason, we and any other court of appeals lack jurisdiction. We therefore dismiss the ap- peal.

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