No. 25-1057 Page 2 Respectfully, Clerk ORDER This appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed. A notice of appeal in a civil case in which the United States is not a party must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the order or judgment being appealed. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). This time limit is mandatory and jurisdictional. Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 209-14 (2007). The District Court’s order was entered on December 6, 2024. Appellant had until January 6, 2025, to file a notice of appeal. His notice of appeal, received by the District Court on January 7, 2025, was filed after the 30-day period had lapsed. See Han Tak Lee v. Houtzdale SCI, 798 F.3d 159, 163 (3d Cir. 2015). There is no basis in the record for extending the time to appeal. See., e.g., Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) & (a)(6). Appellant’s outstanding motions are denied. By the Court, s/Arianna J. Freeman Circuit Jud
