UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS 

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT 

_________________________________ 

BYRON K. ANDREWS; ANDREA P. 

ANDREWS, 

 Plaintiffs - Appellants, 

v. 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Defendant - Appellee. 

No. 15-1041 

(D.C. No. 1:09-CV-00249-PAB-KMT)

ORDER

_________________________________ 

Before HARTZ, HOLMES, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the notice of appeal was filed 

late. 

The last order issued by the district court was entered on August 7, 2014, denying 

the plaintiffs’ motion to reopen the case. The notice of appeal was filed more than 60 

days later on February 4, 2015. 

In a civil case, in which the United States is a party, a notice of appeal must be 

filed within 60 days of entry of the order being appealed. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b) (a 

notice of appeal in a civil matter must be filed within 60 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 60 days after entry of the most recent 

district court order, this court lacks jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED.
