UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee, 

v. 

JESUS ADRIAN RUBIO-AGUILAR, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 10-4031

(D.C. No. 2:09-CR-00570-CW-1)

(D. of Utah)

ORDER

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

This matter is before the court on the government’s motion to dismiss and

the response filed by defense counsel. Upon consideration thereof, the

government’s motion is granted. 

The defendant filed his notice of appeal over a month after entry of

judgment and beyond the time in which to seek an extension of time from the

district court. In a criminal appeal, the defendant’s notice of appeal is to be filed

within 14 days of entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A). This rule is

an “inflexible claim-processing rule[], which unlike a jurisdictional rule, may be

forfeited if not properly raised by the government.” United States v. Garduno,

506 F.3d 1287, 1291 (10th Cir. 2007) (internal quotation omitted).

We determine that the government properly raised the issue in its motion to

dismiss. “Because the government timely objected to [the defendant’s] late notice

of appeal, this court is bound to dismiss the appeal.” Id. at 1292.

Defense counsel admits that the defendant’s notice of appeal is untimely.

The government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED and this appeal is

DISMISSED.
