UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS 

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT 

_________________________________ 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee, 

v. 

LUIS REYNOSO-RODRIGUEZ, a/k/a 

Nephew, a/k/a Francisco RodriquezHernandez, 

 Defendant - Appellant. 

No. 13-1442 

(D.C. No. 1:12-CR-00038-CMA-7)

ORDER

_________________________________ 

Before HOLMES, O'BRIEN, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

This matter is before the court on the government’s motion to dismiss this appeal 

because the notice of appeal is untimely. Upon consideration thereof, the motion is 

granted. 

Judgment was entered on June 24, 2013, and the notice of appeal was filed four 

months later on October 24, 2013. 

In a criminal appeal, the defendant’s notice of appeal is to be filed within 14 days 

of entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A). This rule is an “inflexible claimprocessing rule[], which unlike a jurisdictional rule, may be forfeited if not properly 

raised by the government.” United States v. Garduno, 506 F.3d 1287, 1291 (10th Cir. 

2007) (internal quotation omitted).

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

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

The defendant did not file a response to the government’s motion although he was 

ordered to do so by this court. 

The government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED. APPEAL DISMISSED.
