No. 89-7712.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted:  Nov. 20, 1989.Decided:  Feb. 5, 1990.

W. Michael Lovern, appellant pro se.
Stephen Aubrey West, Assistant United States Attorney, for appellees.
Before K.K. HALL, SPROUSE and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
W. Michael Lovern, a federal prisoner seeking to appeal the district court's dismissal of his civil action, submitted his notice of appeal to prison authorities outside the 60-day period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(1).  It was therefore untimely.  In addition, he 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).


2
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.


3
DISMISSED.
