Before KRUPANSKY and DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judges, and CELEBREZZE, Senior Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.


2
A review of the record before the court indicates that the judgment was entered June 26, 1990.  The appellant served a Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 motion to alter or amend on June 27, 1990, which was within ten days of the entry of judgment as computed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(a).  Such motion tolled the appeal period.  See Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4);  McMahon v. Libbey-Owens-Ford Co., 870 F.2d 1073, 1078 n. 1 (6th Cir.1989) (per curiam).  A notice of appeal was filed July 2, 1990.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4) provides that a notice of appeal filed before the disposition of a timely Rule 59 motion shall have no effect.  A timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional.    Osterneck v. Ernst & Whinney, 489 U.S. 169, 174 (1989);  Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 61 (1982) (per curiam).  The district court denied the motion to alter or amend by order entered July 25, 1990.  No new notice of appeal was filed.


3
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
