Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 76 F.3d 375 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted Jan. 18, 1996. Decided Jan. 31, 1996

Bonita Dorothy Sacilotto, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Allan Fry, Assistant Solicitor, Towson, Maryland, for Appellees.

Before HAMILTON and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant noted this appeal outside the thirty-day appeal period established by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (1), failed to obtain an extension of the appeal period within the additional thirty-day period provided by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (5), and is not entitled to relief under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (6). 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)). The district court entered its order on June 27, 1995; Appellant's notice of appeal was filed on November 6, 1995. 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. Accordingly, we grant Appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
