Submitted:  March 15, 1995.Decided:  April 5, 1995.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh.  James C. Fox, Chief District Judge.  (CA-94-67-5-F)
Lawrence Harper, appellant pro se.
Jane Ray Garvey, Office of the Attorney General of North Carolina, Raleigh, NC, for appellee.
Before RUSSELL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
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)).  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 facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
