UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JOEL GARCIA-PARRA,

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 09-2268

(D.C. No. 2:09-CR-00423-BB-1)

ORDER

Before TACHA, BRISCOE, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

Defendant Joel Garcia-Parra, proceeding pro se, seeks to appeal the district court’s

July 1, 2009 Judgment entered in his criminal case.

Under Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i), the ten-day deadline for filing a notice of appeal

in this criminal case expired on July 16, 2009. Defendant filed a pro se notice of appeal in

the district court on October 26, 2009, which was beyond the ten-day deadline. Although

non-compliance with the time limit in Rule 4(b)(1)(A)(i) is not jurisdictional, the United

States has properly raised the timeliness issue by filing a motion to dismiss and has requested

dismissal of the appeal. See United States v. Garduno, 506 F.3d 1287, 1290-91 (10th Cir.

2007).

Accordingly, the United States’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The appeal is

DISMISSED.
