“[The] jurisdictional requirement of timeliness is strictly applied in civil cases. No exceptions or waivers are recognized; no matter how extenuating the circumstances, an untimely petition will not be entertained.

“The Court is so firm in its holdings that it lacks jurisdiction over a petition in a civil case filed beyond the time limits set by Congress that it has instructed the Clerk to reject such a petition without docketing or circulating it to the Court. …

“A party’s only remedy is to file a motion asking the Court to order the Clerk to accept a petition that he or she has rejected, perhaps on the ground that the Clerk’s time calculations were wrong. No such motion has as yet been granted.”

Thank you, Philipp!
