 Plaintiff - Appellant,

 v.

LILLIAN GARCIA KELLY, Attorney;

JOHN BIGELOW, Attorney,

 Defendants - Appellees.

No. 07-2249

ORDER

Filed November 26, 2007

Before BRISCOE, O’BRIEN, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.

In an April 5, 2007 Order, the district court dismissed Plaintiff’s civil rights

complaint based on failure to state a claim. Final judgment was entered on April 5,

2007. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, appeals.

The appeal is jurisdictionally defective. The thirty-day deadline under Fed.

R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) for the filing of a timely notice of appeal in this case expired

on Monday, May 7, 2007. See Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(3). Plaintiff’s notice of appeal

was filed on October 1, 2007, which was 147 days past the thirty-day filing deadline.

Compliance with filing requirements is “mandatory and jurisdictional.”

Bowles v. Russell, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 2363 (2007). Plaintiff’s notice of appeal is

untimely. 

The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
