ORDER

Appellate Case: 25-1014 Document: 2 Date Filed: 01/10/2025 Page: 14
15

Before MATHESON, BACHARACH, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

We raise sua sponte the question of whether this court has jurisdiction to consider 

these eleven appeals. See Amazon, Inc. v. Dirt Camp, Inc., 273 F.3d 1271, 1274 (10th 

Cir. 2001) (“[W]e have an independent duty to examine our own jurisdiction.”). 

On January 6, 2025, pro se Plaintiff Latonya Denise Davis filed a notice of appeal 

listing eleven district court cases by case number only (one case no. is listed twice). The 

eleven cases were filed in the district court between January 2024 and May 2024. The 

complaints named dozens of defendants, including some federal parties. The district court 

entered final orders of dismissal and judgments in the respective cases in April 2024 and 

July 2024. The notice of appeal states that Mrs. Davis is “writing to Appeal the decision 

of the United States District Court.”

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(c)(1)(B) provides that the notice of appeal 

must “designate the judgment—or the appealable order—from which the appeal is 

taken.” “Rule 3’s dictates are jurisdictional in nature, and their satisfaction is a 

prerequisite to appellate review.” Smith v. Barry, 502 U.S. 244, 248 (1992).

We note that the notice of appeal does not designate the specific appealable order 

or judgment that was entered for each individual case. Assuming that Mrs. Davis seeks to 

appeal all eleven judgments entered in her eleven cases, we conclude that this court lacks 

jurisdiction over any of the appeals because the notice of appeal was not timely filed in 

any of the eleven cases. 

Appellate Case: 25-1014 Document: 2 Date Filed: 01/10/2025 Page: 15
16

The timely filing of the notice of appeal in a civil case is mandatory and 

jurisdictional. See Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 209 (2007). Mrs. Davis’s notice of 

appeal was required to be filed within 30 days after entry of the order or judgment being 

appealed, see 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); or, in the cases where she 

named as defendants, the United States, a federal agency, or a federal officer or 

employee, within 60 days after entry of the order or judgment, see 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b);

Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B).

In the eleven cases, the district court judgments were entered on April 18, 2024 

(no. 24-CV-00365), July 2, 2024 (no. 24-CV-00131), July 8, 2024 (nos. 24-CV-01440 

and 24-CV-01441), July 9, 2024 (no. 24-CV-01104), July 17, 2024 (no. 24-CV-01145), 

July 18, 2024 (no. 24-CV-01132), July 24, 2024 (nos. 24-CV-01120, 24-CV-01123, and 

24-CV-01142), and July 25, 2024 (no. 24-CV-01147). The notice of appeal was filed on 

January 6, 2025.

Although Mrs. Davis is proceeding pro se, she still must comply with the filing 

rules and requirements applicable to all other litigants. See Ogden v. San Juan Cty., 32 

F.3d 452, 455 (10th Cir. 1994). Here, the notice of appeal was filed more than five 

months after the judgment entered in ten cases, and more than eight months after the 

judgment entered in one case; in all eleven cases, after the respective 30- and 60-day 

appellate filing deadlines had expired. We also note that Mrs. Davis’s “motion to reopen 

case,” filed in the district court on January 3, 2025, does not toll the time to appeal 

because it was filed more than 28 days after any of the judgments entered in her eleven 

Appellate Case: 25-1014 Document: 2 Date Filed: 01/10/2025 Page: 16
17

cases. Cf. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(A)(vi). Because the notice of appeal was not timely 

filed in any of the eleven cases, we lack jurisdiction to consider any of the eleven appeals. 

Accordingly, we dismiss these untimely appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
