PER CURIAM:

                Jason Robert Drew seeks to appeal the district court’s

order     dismissing       as    untimely       his   28    U.S.C.    § 2254     (2012)

petition.         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, 

, 214 (2007).

                The district court’s order was entered on the docket

on June 10, 2014.           The notice of appeal was filed on July 17,

2014. *    Because Drew failed to file a timely notice of appeal or

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

dismiss the appeal.             We dispense with oral argument because the

facts     and    legal    contentions    are      adequately       presented    in   the




      *
       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).
