U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2008-06-23

Relies on Browder v. Director Department of Corrections of Illinois · United States v. Robinson

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion · Decided 2008-06-23

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Charlie L. Richardson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his post-judgment motions following the denial of relief on his civil complaint. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

¶2 Parties are accorded thirty days after the entry of the district court’s final judg *263 ment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district coui’t 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). This appeal period is “mandatory and jurisdictional.” Browder v. Dir., Dep’t of Corr, 434 U.S. 257, 264, 98 S.Ct. 556, 54 L.Ed.2d 521 (1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 361 U.S. 220, 229, 80 S.Ct. 282, 4 L.Ed.2d 259 (1960)).

¶3 The district court’s order was entered on the docket on November 9, 2007, 2007 WL 3355669. The notice of appeal was filed on December 11, 2007. Because Richardson failed to tile 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

¶4 DISMISSED.
