We say that a subgroup H is an n-th maximal subgroup of G if there exists a chain of subgroups G = G0 > G1 > … > Gn = H such that each Gi is a maximal subgroup of Gi-1, i = 1, 2, …, n. The purpose of this note is to classify all finite simple groups with the property that every third maximal subgroup is nilpotent.
