Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 815 F.2d 702 (6th Cir. 1987) March 13, 1987

Before ENGEL, KRUPANSKY and GUY, Circuit Judges.


ORDER

This matter is before the Court for consideration of appellant's response to this Court's order to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed.

On October 14, 1986, the district court entered an order which dismissed appellant's civil rights action. The notice of appeal, filed November 14, 1986, is one day late, Rule 4(a) and 26(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and this Court is deprived of jurisdiction. Compliance with Rule 4(a) is a mandatory and jurisdictional prerequisite which this Court can neither waive nor extend. Peake v. First Nat'l Bank & Trust Co., 717 F.2d 1016 (6th Cir. 1983).

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. Rule 9(b) (1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
