UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

JASON WHITE,

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

v. 

A.J. SEDLER; J.B. YARA; DAVID

HINSON; CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE,

 Defendants - Appellees.

No. 10-2044

(D.C. No. 1:07-CV-00491-JAP-DJS)

ORDER

Before MURPHY, TYMKOVICH, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

This matter is before the court on the appellees’ motion to dismiss this

appeal as untimely. We agree with the appellees that the appeal was filed out-oftime, and, accordingly, grant the motion to dismiss. 

Judgment was entered on December 4, 2009, and the notice of appeal was

filed more than 30 days later on February 12, 2010. The appellant filed a motion

for extension of time on February 24, which was denied by the district court on

April 6.

In a civil case, in which the United States is not a 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 unless the United States is a party); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (same). 

This court may not grant an extension of time in which to appeal. Fed. R. App. P.

26(b).

Because 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), this appeal is

DISMISSED.
