UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

ABEL GEBRE LAEKE,

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

v. 

JOHN DEQUARDO, CMHIP, 

 Defendant - Appellee.

No. 10-1055

(D.C. No. 1:09-CV-00644-ZLW)

ORDER

Before KELLY, HARTZ, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

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

was filed out-of-time. 

Judgment was entered on May 15, 2009, and the notice of appeal was filed

more than nine months later, on February 23, 2010.

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).

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.
