PER CURIAM:

            Travis   Leon   Davidson       seeks   to   appeal    the     district

court’s   order   accepting   the   recommendation        of     the    magistrate

judge and dismissing his civil complaint.               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 July 22, 2011.     The notice of appeal was filed on November 4,

2011. *   Because Davidson failed to file a timely notice of appeal

or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we

deny his pending motions and dismiss the appeal.                       We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are



      *
       For the purpose of this appeal, we assume that the date
appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date it could
have been properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to
the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c); Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266
(1988).

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                               DISMISSED
