Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Appellants seek to appeal the district court’s orders accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on their civil action and denying their subsequent Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration. 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 denying the Rule 59(e) motion was entered on the docket on December 11, 2009. The notice of appeal was filed on August 24, 2010. Appellants did not file a timely notice of appeal or obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period. Moreover, their miscellaneous motions filed after the entry of the final order did not affect the time to file an appeal under Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(a)(4)(A). Accordingly, 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.
