United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Larry Gilly, Defendant-appellant, 872 F.2d 419 (4th Cir. 1989)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 872 F.2d 419 (4th Cir. 1989) Submitted Jan. 30, 1989. Decided March 23, 1989. Rehearing Denied April 27, 1989

Larry Gilly, appellant pro se.

Karen Breeding Peters, Office of the United States Attorney, for appellee.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Larry Gilly noted this appeal outside the 60-day appeal period established by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (1), and failed to move for an extension of the appeal period within the additional 30-day period provided by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (5). The time periods established by Fed. R. App. P. 4 are "mandatory and jurisdictional." Browder v. Director, Dep't of Corrections, 434 U.S. 257, 264 (1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 361 U.S. 220, 229 (1960)). Appellant's failure to note a timely appeal or obtain an extension of the appeal period deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider this case. We therefore dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

DISMISSED.
