UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JASON E. FRAZIER, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 16-3068

(D.C. No. 2:13-CV-02040-KHV)

(D. Kan.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before KELLY, HARTZ, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

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

late. 

Judgment was entered on August 19, 2015 and the notice of appeal was filed more 

than six months later on March 11, 2016. 

In a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding, the notice of appeal must be filed within 60 

days of the entry of judgment. See United States v. Bly, 328 F.3d 1262, 1263 n.1 (10th 

Cir. 2003) (the time to appeal in a § 2255 proceeding is determined by the civil rules); 28 

U.S.C. § 2107(b) (a notice of appeal in a civil matter where the United States is a party 

must be filed within 60 days of entry of judgment); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B) (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).
