PER CURIAM:

               Myron    Roderick   Nunn    seeks    to   appeal   the    district

court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) action.                    We

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice

of appeal was not timely filed.

               Parties are accorded thirty days after the entry of

the district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal,

Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), 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 December 1, 2010.         The notice of appeal was filed on February

15, 2011. ∗     Because Nunn failed to file a timely notice of appeal

or to 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

     ∗
       For the purpose of this appeal, we assume that the date
appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date it could
have been properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to
the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c); Houston v. Luck, 487 U.S. 266
(1988).

materials   before   the   court   and   argument   would   not    aid   the

decisional process.
