PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Helen Gerald seeks to appeal
the district court’s judgments dismissing her complaints. We
dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction because the notices
of appeal were not timely filed.
Parties are accorded 30 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).
In No. 15-1632, the district court’s judgment was entered
on the docket on May 5, 2015. In No. 15-1636, the district
court’s judgment was entered on the docket on March 31, 2015.
The notices of appeal were filed on June 10, 2015. Because
Gerald failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an
extension or reopening of the appeal period in either case, we
dismiss the appeals. 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
