United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 27, 1989.Decided May 3, 1990.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond.  James R. Spencer, District Judge.  (C/A No. 89-624-AM)
Raymond Muriel Dowdy, Jr., appellant pro se.
E.D.Va.
DISMISSED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Raymond Muriel Dowdy noted this appeal outside the 30-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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis 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.
