Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 953 F.2d 1391 (10th Cir. 1992) Feb. 4, 1992

Before SEYMOUR, STEPHEN H. ANDERSON and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.* 

ORDER AND JUDGMENT** 

BALDOCK, Circuit Judge.


Plaintiff-appellant Stephen Moore appeals from an order entered August 26, 1991, dismissing his civil rights complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his notice of appeal on September 30, 1991, five days past the thirty-day time limit set forth in Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (1). Moreover, plaintiff did not move for an extension of time as provided by Rule 4(a) (5). A timely filed notice of appeal is "mandatory and jurisdictional." Browder v. Director, Dep't of Corrections, 434 U.S. 257, 264 (1978). We therefore DISMISS the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

 *

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The cause therefore is ordered submitted without oral argument

This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir.R. 36.3
