     Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims
 in No. 1:22-cv-01770-TMD, Judge Thompson M. Dietz.
                  ______________________

                      ON MOTION
                  ______________________

     Before DYK, PROST, and WALLACH, Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
     In response to this court’s December 5, 2023 order to
 show cause, the United States urges dismissal. Eric
 Malone has not responded to the order, though he has filed
 other documents in the interim.
     The United States Court of Federal Claims entered
 judgment dismissing Mr. Malone’s complaint for lack of

 subject matter jurisdiction on July 25, 2023. Mr. Malone’s
 notice of appeal was received by that court on October 10,
 2023, 77 days after entry of judgment.
     To be timely, a notice of appeal must be received by the
 Court of Federal Claims within 60 days of the entry of the
 final judgment. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2107(b), 2522; Fed. R. App. P.
 4(a)(1)(B); Fed. Cir. R. 1(a)(1)(C). The statutory deadline
 is mandatory and jurisdictional, such that we may not ex-
 cuse a late notice. Marandola v. United States, 518 F.3d
 913, 914 (Fed. Cir. 2008); see also Bowles v. Russell, 551
 U.S. 205, 209 (2007); cf. Fed. R. App. P. 26(b)(1). Because
 the notice of appeal was not received within that time, we
 lack jurisdiction and must dismiss.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     (1) The appeal is dismissed.
     (2) All pending motions are denied.
     (3) The parties shall bear their own costs.
