CALDERON LOPEZ v. JACKSON 2
P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
Ricardo Jose Calderon Lopez moves for leave to proceed
in forma pauperis. The court dismisses this appeal for lack
of jurisdiction.
On March 10, 2022, the district court dismissed
Mr. Calderon Lopez’s complaint directed at various federal
judges. Mr. Calderon Lopez appealed that decision to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,
which dismissed for failure to prosecute on June 21, 2022.
On June 14, 2024, Mr. Calderon Lopez filed a notice of ap-
peal from the “3/10/22” decision. ECF No. 1-2 at 1.
“[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), and, in order to be timely, a notice of ap-
peal must generally be filed within 60 days after entry of
final judgment when a case involves United States officers,
28 U.S.C. § 2107; Fed. R. App. P. 4. Here, Mr. Calderon
Lopez’s notice of appeal, filed more than 2 years after the
district court entered final judgment, is clearly untimely.
For at least this reason, we and any other court of appeals
lack jurisdiction.
Accordingly,
