EDWARDS v. SSA 2
On June 16, 2020, the district court entered judgment
against Mr. Edwards, and, more than three years later on
January 25, 2024, Mr. Edwards filed a notice of appeal
seeking this court’s review of that judgment. This court
does not have jurisdiction to review social security benefits
cases. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295; 42 U.S.C. § 405. Moreover,
Mr. Edwards’s notice of appeal, filed more than 60 days af-
ter entry of judgment, is untimely, see 28 U.S.C.
§ 2107(b)(2); Fed. R. App. P. 4, such that the appropriate
regional circuit, here the United States Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit, would also lack jurisdiction over this
appeal. See Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
(1) The Social Security Administration’s motion is
granted to the extent that this appeal is dismissed for lack
of jurisdiction.
(2) All other pending motions are denied.
(3) Each party shall bear its own costs.
