PER CURIAM:

              William     A.    Taccino    seeks   to    appeal   the     district

court’s order denying relief in this civil action.                      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 (2007).

              The district court’s order was entered on the docket

on   August     11,     2010.      The    notice   of   appeal    was    filed   on

September 13, 2010.             Because Taccino failed to file a timely

notice of appeal or 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
