BAYCHAR, INC. and Baychar Holdings LLC, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. SALOMON NORTH AMERICA, INC., Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 2007-1105.
    United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
    March 1, 2007.
    John Kepler, III, Gallop, Johnson & Neuman, St. Louis, MO, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.
    Donald A. Degnan, Holland & Hart LLP, Boulder, CO, for Defendant-Appel-lee.
    Before NEWMAN, RADER, and LINN, Circuit Judges.
   ON MOTION

RADER, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

Salomon North America, Inc. moves to dismiss Baychar, Inc et al.’s (Baychar) appeal of the United States District Court for the District of Maine’s judgment in Baychar, Inc. v. Salomon North America, Inc., No. 04-CV-136, 2006 WL 3209934 (Nov. 6, 2006), as untimely. Baychar has not responded.

The district court’s docket sheet in reflects that judgment was entered on November 6, 2006. The docket sheet further reflects that Baychar filed its notice of appeal on December 11, 2006, 35 days after entry of judgment. On December 11, Baychar filed a motion in the district court requesting an extension of time to file its notice of appeal. The trial court denied that motion on January 2, 2007. We note that Baychar filed a renewed motion for an enlargement of time in the district court on January 29, 2007.

A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after judgment is entered. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). An appeal not filed within that time must be dismissed. Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 61, 103 S.Ct. 400, 74 L.Ed.2d 225 (1982) (“It is well settled that the requirement of a timely notice of appeal is ‘mandatory and jurisdictional.’ ” (citation omitted)); Sofarelli Associates, Inc. v. United States, 716 F.2d 1395 (Fed.Cir. 1983) (appeal must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely). Thus, the appeal is dismissed.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion to dismiss is granted.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
