Submitted: July 26, 2018                                          Decided: July 30, 2018

                                            2
PER CURIAM:

       Gregory Perry seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying Perry’s motion for

reconsideration of the court’s order dismissing Perry’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)

complaint as frivolous. 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 March 6, 2018. The notice

of appeal was filed on April 6, 2018. Because Perry 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

                                              3
