__________________________
DECIDED: June 6, 2007 __________________________
Before MAYER, Circuit Judge, CLEVENGER, Senior Circuit Judge, and PROST, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.
George Calvin McCullough appeals from the final judgment of the United States
Court of Federal Claims dismissing his complaint. McCullouch v. United States,
No. 06-483 (Sept. 29, 2006). We dismiss Mr. McCullough’s appeal.
I
An appeal from the Court of Federal Claims must be filed within 60 days after
entry of judgment. See 28 U.S.C. 2107(b). Mr. McCullough did not file his notice of
appeal until 88 days after the Court of Federal Claims entered its judgment dismissing
his complaint. II
The requirement of a timely filed notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional,
and cannot be waived. Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 61
(1982); see Fed. R. App. P. 26(b) (stating that “the court may not extend the time to file
a notice of appeal”). An untimely appeal to this court must be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. Sofarelli Associates, Inc. v. United States, 716 F.2d 1395, 1396-97 (Fed.
Cir. 1983).
Because Mr. McCullough’s appeal is untimely, we dismiss.
No costs.
