PER CURIAM:

Monica Jeffries seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying Jeffries’ motion 

for reconsideration of the court’s order dismissing her claims brought pursuant to the 

Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101 to 12213 (2018). We dismiss the 

appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed. 

Parties are accorded 30 days after the entry of the district court’s final judgment or 

order to note an appeal, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the 

appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the appeal period under Fed. R.

App. P. 4(a)(6). “[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional

requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007). 

The district court’s order was entered on the docket on August 8, 2017. The notice 

of appeal was filed on October 21, 2019. Because Jeffries failed to file a timely notice of 

appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. 

We deny Jeffries’ motion for summary judgment. We dispense with oral argument because 

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court 

and argument would not aid the decisional process. 

DISMISSED
