UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

JONATHAN LEE RICHES, 

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

DON IMUS,

 Defendant - Appellee.

No. 08-2214

(D.C. No. 07-cv-00843-BB-RHS)

ORDER

Before TACHA, O’BRIEN and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.

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

was filed late. Judgment was entered on October 23, 2007. The notice of appeal

was filed on September 2, 2008, well beyond the 30 days required by statute and

rule. 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 unless the United States is a party); Fed. R.

App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (same).

Because a timely notice of appeal in a civil case is both mandatory and

jurisdictional, see Bowles v. Russell, ___ U.S. ___, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 2363, 2366
