    No. 15-6151.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: March 10, 2015.
    Decided: April 2, 2015.
    Abdullah Al-Amin, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before WYNN, DIAZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
   Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Abdullah Al-Amin seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

Parties are accorded 30 days after the entry of the district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal, unless the district court extends or reopens the appeal period. Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), (a)(5), (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, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).

The district court’s order was entered on the docket on September 11, 2013. The notice of appeal was filed on January 16, 2015. Because Al-Amin failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to timely obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We deny the motion for an injunction pending appeal as moot. 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. 
      
       For the purpose of this appeal, we assume that the date appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date it could have been properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to the court.
