Eric J. Templeton, Dalhart, TX, pro se.
Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Eric J. Templeton, Texas prisoner # 1285304, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to comply with the district court's order that he file an amended complaint. He also appeals the district court's order denying his motion to abate the judgment.
A timely notice of appeal in a civil case is mandatory and jurisdictional. Bowles v. Russell, - U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 2363-66, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007). Temple-ton did not file a timely notice of appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See Bowles, 127 S.Ct. at 2363-66.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
