Head Matter:
Benjamin ALLI, Shaki Alli, and BSA Corporation, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 2011-5100.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

Opinion:
ON MOTION
PER CURIAM.
ORDER
The United States moves to dismiss the appeal because the appeal was untimely filed. Benjamin Alii submits a response. The United States replies. Benjamin Alii submits a surreply. Benjamin Alii moves for an enlargement of time to file an entry of appearance for newly retained counsel. The United States opposes in part.
The Court of Federal Claims entered a RCFC 54(b) judgment in the underlying case on June 11, 2010 in the government's favor. BSA Corp. filed its notice of appeal more than one year later, on June 13, 2011.
An appeal from a judgment of the Court of Federal Claims must be filed within 60 days after the entry of judgment unless the time to file is tolled by the filing of a timely motion for reconsideration in the trial court. See 28 U.S.C. § 2522; Fed. R.App. P. 4. No such motion was timely filed. Instead, on June 10, 2011, three days before noticing the appeal to this court, Benjamin Alii filed a document in the trial court entitled "motion for relief from default judgment under rule 60(b)." That motion was subsequently denied by the Court of Federal Claims on July 22, 2011. Alii did not appeal that order.
The time limitation for filing a notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional. Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that cannot be waived); Marrandolo v. United States, 518 F.3d 913 (Fed.Cir.2008) (applying Bowles to appeals from the Court of Federal Claims).
Accordingly,
It Is Ordered That:
(1) The motion to dismiss is granted.
(2) Any other motions are denied as moot.
The response purports to be submitted on behalf of Benjamin Alii, Shaki Alii, and BSA Corporation. However, Benjamin Alii may not as a pro se submit a document on behalf of another individual or corporation. In any event, we have considered the submitted document, which does not appear to address the untimeliness of the appeal.
