ORDER

_________________________________

Before BRISCOE, Chief Judge, BACHARACH and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter comes on for consideration of the motion to dismiss filed by 

Defendant Roy Havens. Upon consideration thereof, the motion is granted and this appeal 

is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was filed out-of-time. 

The plaintiff failed to file a response, even though she was ordered to do so. 

Judgment was entered on June 30, 2014. Almost a year later, on May 13, 2015, the 

plaintiff filed this appeal.

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. The motion to dismiss is granted and this appeal is DISMISSED.
