Mexico dismissed the complaint for failure to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted. Mendez ap-
pealed, seeking review by this court.
This court’s jurisdiction over appeals of district court
decisions is limited primarily to cases involving patents
and suits against the United States not exceeding
$10,000. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295 (a)(1), (2). Mendez’s appeal
is not within this court’s jurisdiction We also note that
the district court entered judgment on January 6, 2010.
Mendez's notice of appeal was filed on July 20§ 2010. Any
appeal of the district court‘s judgment was due no later
than February 5, 2010. Thus, because the appeal was not
timely filed and is not within this court's jurisdiction, we
dismiss the appeal.* - '
Accordingly,
IT ls ORDERED THAT:
(1) The appeal is dismissed. Any pending motions
are denied as moot.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs
