USCA4 Appeal: 22-1803         Doc: 11      Filed: 04/24/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Sebastian X. Moore seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil

        action without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We dismiss the appeal for

        lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

               In civil cases, parties have 30 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 entered its order on December 20, 2021. Moore filed the notice

        of appeal on July 19, 2022. Because Moore failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to

        obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We deny

        Moore’s motion to show cause and his motion to expedite and remand.

               We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

        adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

        decisional process.

                                                                                      DISMISSED

                                                     2
