Emmanuel Uzoma v. Barclays Bank, PLC

582 F. App'x 236

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Emmanuel and Emelia .Uzoma seek to appeal the district court’s order granting the Defendants’ motions to dismiss their civil action. Defendants have moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

Parties are accorded thirty 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, 127 S. Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).

The district court’s order was entered on the docket on March 27, 2014. The notice of appeal was filed on June 24, 2014. Because Appellants failed to file a timely notice of appeal or obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we grant the motions to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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.
