Before DONALD RUSSELL, PHILLIPS and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
James E. Ramsey noted this appeal outside the 30-day appeal period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(1), and his motion for extension of the appeal period pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(5) was properly denied.   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.


2
DISMISSED.
