PER CURIAM:
William

Scott

Davis,

Jr.,

seeks

to

appeal

the

district

court’s order denying his motion to set aside the judgments in
four closed civil cases.

Davis argued in his notice of appeal,

and the record suggests, that he did not timely receive notice
of the entry of the district court’s order.
4(a)(6)(A).

See Fed. R. App. P.

Because the 30-day appeal period is jurisdictional,

Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007), we remand the case
for

the

limited

purpose

of

allowing

the

district

court

to

determine whether to reopen the time to file an appeal, pursuant
to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6).
