Mark Ryland Dowdy seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) 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, 127 S. Ct. 2360,168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).
The district court’s order was entered on the docket on October 25, 2011. The notice of appeal was filed on November 27, 2011.* Because Dowdy 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
DISMISSED.
