PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated appeals, Raymond Eugene Sims-Lewis seeks to appeal the

district court’s orders dismissing his complaints alleging claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012). We dismiss the appeals 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, 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, 

, 214 (2007).

       The district court entered its orders dismissing Sims-Lewis’ complaints between

September 29, 2015 and December 4, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed on March 22,

2017. * Because Sims-Lewis failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an

extension or reopening of the appeal period, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis

and 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



       *
        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, 

(1988).
