P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
In response to this court’s July 25, 2024 show cause or-
der, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs urges dismissal of
this appeal as untimely. Jimmie McIver has not re-
sponded.
Mr. McIver filed the underlying complaint asserting
employment discrimination by the Department of Veterans
Affairs. On November 15, 2018, the district court

MCIVER v. MCDONOUGH 2
dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction. On June
14, 2024, Mr. McIver filed a notice of appeal directed to this
court from the November 15, 2018 decision.
“[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). Because no court of appeal would have
jurisdiction over an appeal filed over five years after the
judgment being appealed, we dismiss.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
(1) The appeal is dismissed.
(2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
