ORDER

Before TACHA, LUCERO, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.

Interested Party L.R. Moore appeals the district court’s order denying his three

post-judgment motions.

“A timely notice of appeal is both mandatory and jurisdictional.” Allender v.

Raytheon Aircraft Co., 439 F.3d 1236, 1239 (10th Cir. 2006) (quotation omitted). In a

civil case, a notice of appeal “must be filed with the district clerk within 30 days after the

judgment or order appealed from is entered.” Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Although Mr.

Moore is proceeding pro se, he still must comply with the time requirements in the

procedural rules. Ogden v. San Juan County, 32 F.3d 452, 455 (10th Cir. 1994).

Here, the district court’s order was entered March 21, 2008. The notice of appeal

was not filed until May 8, 2008, more than two weeks after the 30-day deadline to file the

notice of appeal passed. Because the notice of appeal was filed untimely, this court lacks

jurisdiction to consider the appeal. Bowles v. Russell, 127 S. Ct. 2360, 2366-67 (2007);

see also U.S. v. Garduño, 506 F.3d 1287, 1290 (10th Cir. 2007).

Finally, the court construed one of the motions filed by Appellant on July 7, 2008,

as a motion for extension of time to respond to our show cause order issued May 19,

2008, regarding the jurisdictional defect of this appeal. The court granted Appellant’s

request by order dated July 9, 2008. Later on July 9, 2008, however, the court received

and filed a response to the show cause order, which we considered in our review of this

case.

This appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
