Gurley E. Glenn, Appellant Pro Se. Jason V. Federmack, JACKSON LEWIS PC, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:16-cv-00697-FL) Before WILKINSON, KING, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Gurley E. Glenn, Appellant Pro Se. Jason V. Federmack, JACKSON LEWIS PC, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Gurley E. Glenn seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing his postjudgment motion. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.
In civil cases, parties have 30 days after the entry of the district court's final judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) or reopens the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). "[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).
The district court entered its order on August 1, 2019. Glenn filed the notice of appeal on June 15, 2020. Because Glenn failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we deny Glenn's motions to stay and dismiss the appeal.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
