        PER CURIAM:

               Elnora Delcid seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing her civil rights

        action for failure to prosecute. 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 February 17, 2022. Delcid filed the notice of

        appeal on September 27, 2022. Because Delcid 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 materials before this court and argument would not aid the

        decisional process.

                                                                                       DISMISSED

                                                     2
