                                2
PER CURIAM:

       Abdullah Al-Amin seeks to appeal the district court’s order

accepting        the     recommendation       of         the    magistrate      judge     and

dismissing his complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.                                    We

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice

of appeal was not timely filed.

       Parties         are   accorded    30       days    after      the   entry     of    the

district        court’s      final   judgment      or     order     to   note   an   appeal,

unless the district court extends or reopens the appeal period.

Fed.       R.   App.    P.   4(a)(1)(A),      (a)(5),          (a)(6).     “[T]he     timely

filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional

requirement.”           Bowles v. Russell, 

, 214 (2007).

       The district court’s order was entered on the docket on

September 11, 2013.             The notice of appeal was filed on January

16, 2015. *        Because Al-Amin failed to file a timely notice of

appeal or to timely obtain an extension or reopening of the

appeal period, we dismiss the appeal.                      We deny the motion for an

injunction        pending      appeal   as    moot.            We   dispense    with      oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately




       *
       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.

not aid the decisional process.



                                                      DISMISSED
