UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JOSEPH R. DEGEARE, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 16-6065

(D.C. No. 5:15-CV-00444-C)

(W.D. Okla.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before BRISCOE, MATHESON, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because no timely notice of appeal 

was filed. 

Judgment was entered on October 8, 2015, and the defendant did not file a notice 

of appeal, or the functional equivalent thereof, within 60 days. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b) (a 

notice of appeal in a civil matter in which the United States is a party must be filed within 

60 days of entry of judgment); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B) (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).
