UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

ROSEANN SAVEDRA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellant, 

v. 

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of

the Social Security Administration, 

 Defendant - Appellee.

No. 10-2100

(D.C. No. 1:08-CV-00627-LFG)

(D. of New Mexico)

ORDER

Before TACHA, O’BRIEN, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

On February 2, 2010, a United States magistrate judge, upon consent of the parties

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), entered a final judgment in favor of Defendant. Plaintiff

appeals. We dismiss the appeal. Plaintiff’s notice of appeal was not timely filed.

“It is well-established that an appellate court acquires jurisdiction of an appeal only

upon the filing of a timely notice of appeal.” Certain Underwriters at Lloyds of London v.

Evans, 896 F.2d 1255, 1256 (10th Cir. 1990). The sixty-day deadline under Fed. R. App.

P. 4(a)(1)(B) for the filing of a timely notice of appeal in this civil case expired on Monday,

April 5, 2010. See Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(1)(C). Plaintiff filed an appeal on April 23, 2010,

which was eighteen days past the sixty-day deadline. The additional thirty-day deadline for

seeking an extension of time in this case expired on May 5, 2010. See Fed. R. App. P.

4(a)(5)(A). Plaintiff did not move in the district court for an extension of time, and this court

may not extend the time for filing an appeal. See Brumark Corp. v. Samson Resources Corp.

57 F.3d 941, 949 (10th Cir. 1995).

The time limit for filing a notice of appeal in a civil case is a “jurisdictional

requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007). Plaintiff’s notice of appeal is

untimely.

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
