    Vernon ADDISON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Office of Counsel, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 15-2081.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 21, 2016.
    Decided: April 25, 2016.
    Vernon Addison, Appellant Pro Se. Mol-issa Heather Farber, Office of the United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
    Before WILKINSON, KING, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
   Dismissed by unpublished PER. CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Vernon Addison seeks to the appeal the district court’s order denying Addison’s second motion for reconsideration of a pri- or order denying relief on his employment discrimination complaint. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was not timely filed.

When the United States or its officer or agency is a party, 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. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(B), 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, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007).

The district court’s order was entered on the docket on June 1, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed on September 14, 2015. Because Addison 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.
