UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

JASON CHRISTOPHER MARTINEZ, 

 Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

JOHN SANCHEZ, Warden; HECTOR H. 

BALDERAS, Attorney General of New 

Mexico, 

 Respondents - Appellees.

No. 17-2023

(D.C. No. 1:16-CV-00256-RB-GJF)

(D. N.M.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before HARTZ, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

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

late. 

Judgment was entered on September 7, 2016, and the notice of appeal was filed on 

February 21, 2017, more than five months later. 

In a civil case, in which the United States is a not party, a notice of appeal must be 

filed within 30 days of entry of judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a) (a notice of appeal in 

a civil matter must be filed within 30 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).
