    PER CURIAM:
    Tanya Nelson seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion
    to dismiss Nelson’s claims, brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
    42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 
    42 U.S.C. §§ 12101
     to 12213; the Fair Labor Standards Act, 
    29 U.S.C. §§ 201
     to 219; and the Equal
    Pay Act of 1963, 
    29 U.S.C. § 206
    (d). Defendants move to dismiss Nelson’s appeal as
    untimely. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was
    not timely filed.
    In civil cases, parties have 30 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 entered its order on April 1, 2022. Nelson filed the underlying
    notice of appeal on July 28, 2022. Because Nelson failed to file a timely notice of appeal
    or to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we grant Defendants’ motions
    and 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
