UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JESUS CLEMENTE, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 15-3162

(D.C. No. 6:13-CR-10037-JTM-1)

(D. Kan.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, GORSUCH, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before the court on Appellee’s Motion to Dismiss. Appellant was 

directed to file a response to the motion, but failed to do so. Upon consideration, the 

appeal is dismissed as untimely.

The order being appealed was entered on June 2, 2015, and the notice of appeal 

was filed on July 6, 2015.

In a criminal case, a defendant’s notice of appeal must be filed in the district court 

within 14 days after entry of the judgment or the order being appealed. Fed. R. App. P. 

4(b)(1)(A). This rule is an “inflexible claim-processing rule[], which unlike a 

jurisdictional rule, may be forfeited if not properly raised by the government.” United 

States v. Garduño, 506 F.3d 1287, 1291 (10th Cir. 2007).

However, “[b]ecause the government timely objected to [Appellant’s] late notice 

of appeal, this court is bound to dismiss the appeal.” Id. at 1292.

Appellee’s Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. APPEAL DISMISSED.

A copy of this order shall stand as and for the mandate of the court.
