August 15, 2016, more than 4 months later.

In a civil case, in which the United States is a not party, a notice of appeal must be 

filed within 30 days of entry of judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a) (a notice of appeal in 

a civil matter must be filed within 30 days of entry of judgment); Fed. R. App. P. 

4(a)(1)(A) (same). A timely notice of appeal in a civil case is both mandatory and 

jurisdictional. See Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 209, 213 (2007).

Because the appeal was filed more than 30 days after entry of judgment, this court 

lacks jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED.
