 peal on January 16, 2013. 1 Judgment was entered by the

    1 The notice of appeal was forwarded to the Court of

 2                                   HANNAH CURRY    v. SHINSEKI

 64 days had elapsed between judgment and receipt of the
 appeal.
      An appeal from the Court of Appeals for Veterans
 Claims must be received within 60 days from the date of
 entry of judgment. See 38 U.S.C. § 7292(a); 28 U.S.C.
 § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1). This filing period is
 statutory, mandatory, and jurisdictional. Bowles v. Rus-
 sell, 551 U.S. 205 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of
 appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that
 may not be waived); Henderson v. Shinseki, 131 S. Ct.
 1197, 1204-05 (2011) (noting Congress’s intent to impose
 the same jurisdictional restrictions on an appeal from the
 Veterans Court to the Federal Circuit as on an appeal
 from a district court to a court of appeals).
     Ms. Curry’s appeal was not received by the court
 within the statutory period. Thus, we must dismiss her
 appeal.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       (1) The motion to dismiss is granted.
       (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
