Robert Walter Woltz, Plaintiff--appellant, v. John Wilt, Warden; Mrs. Mary Bullock, C. O.; Sgt. Jones,c.o.; Sgt. Wright, C.o.; Officer Young, C.o.; Officerrichert, C.o.; Captain Heard, C.o.; Mr. Paris,classification Officer, Defendants--appellees, 815 F.2d 74 (4th Cir. 1987)

Judgment in this case was entered on April 1, 1986. The notice of appeal was filed on September 29, 1986, outside the 30-day period specified in Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (1). No motion for extension of time within which to note an appeal was filed in the following 30-day period, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (5). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider the appeal. See Shah v. Hutto, 722 F.2d 1167 (4th Cir. 1983) (en banc), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 975 (1984). Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and dismiss the appeal.

DISMISSED.
