Ronnie Dyson, Appellant Pro Se.

                                  2
PER CURIAM:

            Ronnie     Dyson    seeks    to       appeal       the   district      court’s

order sua sponte dismissing his several federal and state law

claims against the Defendants.                   We dismiss the appeal for lack

of   jurisdiction    because     the    notice       of    appeal     was    not    timely

filed.

            When the United States or its officer or agency is a

party, the notice of appeal must be filed no more than sixty

days after the entry of the district court’s final judgment or

order, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B), unless the district court

extends the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or

reopens the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6).                            “[T]he

timely   filing   of    a    notice     of       appeal   in    a    civil   case     is   a

jurisdictional requirement.”             Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205,

214 (2007).

            The district court’s order was entered on the docket

on September 2, 2011.          The notice of appeal was filed on January

19, 2012.     Because Dyson failed to file a timely notice of

appeal or obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period,

we dismiss the appeal.           We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials   before     the     court    and       argument       would   not    aid    the

decisional process.

                                                                               DISMISSED

                                             3
