PER CURIAM:
Lenir Richardson seeks to appeal the district court's order granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss and dismissing her 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 March 31, 2018. The notice of appeal was filed on May 31, 2018. Because Richardson failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we grant Navient Corporation's motion to dismiss the appeal and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
