PER CURIAM:
Roy Riley and Ramona Riley seek to appeal from the district court’s order
adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and remanding the debt
collection case filed against the Rileys back to state court. We dismiss the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.
Parties are accorded thirty days after the entry of the district court’s final judgment
or order to note an appeal, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the
appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the appeal period under Fed. R.
App. P. 4(a)(6). “[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).
The district court’s order was entered on the docket on January 2, 2018. The
notice of appeal was filed on February 23, 2018. Because the Rileys failed to file a
timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we
dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
