PER CURIAM:
Marc Pierre Hall seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion as an unauthorized
successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was
not timely filed.

the notice of appeal must be filed no more than 60 days after
the entry of the district court’s final judgment or order, Fed.

appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the

filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional
requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).

March 9, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed on June 28, 2015. *

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
