GLADYS MARIE GOFF
Plaintiff - Appellant
VERSUS
SOUNDOLIER DIVISION OF AMERICAN TRADING AND PRODUCTION
CORPORATION
Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Northern District of Texas
3:98-CV-2254
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff, Gladys Marie Goff, filed this action against
defendant seeking relief for employment discrimination. The
district court dismissed Golf’s action with prejudice on February
15, 2001 and entered final judgment that same date. Goff filed her

notice of appeal more than two years later on June 25, 2003.
Because Goff’s notice of appeal from the February 15, 2001 judgment
was untimely this court has no jurisdiction to review that order.
Goff then filed a motion for leave to reinstate her complaint on
February 14, 2003. The district court treated that motion as a
motion for relief under Rule 60(b)F.R.C.P. and denied the motion on
June 19, 2003. Goff filed a timely appeal from that order.
After reviewing the record and the briefs of the parties we
are satisfied that the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying Goff’s Rule 60(b) motion.
AFFIRMED.
