ELIZABETH H. COOMES, a/k/a Elizabeth Haring Coomes, d/b/a Old Town
Insurance & Financial,
Debtor - Appellant,
v.
THOMAS P. GORMAN, Chapter 13 Trustee,
Trustee - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, Senior District Judge. (1:18-cv-01322-TSE-MSN)
Submitted: October 28, 2019 Decided: December 6, 2019
Before AGEE, DIAZ, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Elizabeth Haring Coomes, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Elizabeth Haring Coomes seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her
second motion to reconsider a prior order. 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, 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 May 28, 2019. The notice
of appeal was filed on July 3, 2019. Because Coomes failed to file a timely notice of appeal
or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. In light
of this disposition, we deny as moot the Appellee’s motion to dismiss or consolidate the
appeal. We deny all of Coomes’ pending motions. 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
