 2 FRY, Chief Judge.

 3        Appellant appeals the award of costs in this case. We proposed to dismiss the

 4 appeal because the notice of appeal was not timely filed. We have received a response

 5 from Appellant in which Appellant claims that it was error for the district court to

 6 deny Appellant’s motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal, and

 7 therefore, we should not dismiss this appeal. As discussed in our opinion in Ekers

 8 Brothers, Inc. v. John Gl. Rehders, General Contractor, No. 30,245, we have

 9 affirmed the district court’s ruling on Appellant’s motion. Because the motion for

10 extension to file the notice of appeal was properly denied, Appellant’s notice of appeal

11 was untimely.

12 CONCLUSION

13        For the reasons discussed in this opinion and in our calendar notice, we dismiss

14 Appellant’s appeal.

15        IT IS SO ORDERED.
