Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Ama Infante appeals after the district court dismissed her amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, denied her post-judgment motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, and denied her post-judgment motion for an extension of time to appeal. Aso pending are motions filed by the parties in this court.
As an initial matter, we conclude that Infante's notice of appeal was timely as to the district court's post-judgment orders, but not as to the court's September 3,2015 dismissal order and judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (providing thirty days to appeal in a civil case); Dieser v. Cont'l Cas. Co., 440 F.3d 920, 923 (8th Cir. 2006) (explaining that timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional). We further conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Infante's motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. See United States ex rel. Roop v. Hypoguard USA, Inc., 559 F.3d 818, 824 (8th Cir. 2009) (explaining that district courts have considerable discretion to deny post-judgment motions for leave to amend because such motions are disfavored). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Infante's motion for an extension of time to appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(A) (allowing a district court to extend time to file notice of appeal upon showing of excusable neglect or good cause if a party so moves no later than thirty days after the time prescribed in Rule 4(a) expires); Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. P'ship, 507 U.S. 380, 392, 113 S.Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993) (establishing that inadvertence, ignorance of the rules, or mistakes construing rules do not usually constitute excusable neglect); Gibbons v. United States, 317 F.3d 852, 853 n.3 (8th Cir. 2003) (explaining that the good-cause standard applies to situations involving occurrences not within the mov-ant's control).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny all pending motions as moot.
. The Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nebraska.
