Steve Carl CHADWICK-EL, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. VERIZON WIRELESS, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 09-7648.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: Jan. 19, 2010.

Decided: Jan. 27, 2010.

Steve Carl Chadwick-el, Appellant Pro Se.

Before NIEMEYER, KING, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Steve Carl Chadwick-el seeks to appeal the distinct court’s order dismissing without prejudice his civil action against Verizon Wireless. 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 June 25, 2009. The notice of appeal was filed on or about *240August 11, 2009.* Thus, the notice of appeal was filed outside the thirty-day appeal period. Because Chadwick-el 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
