                                ___________

Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________
PER CURIAM.

    Johnnie W. Robinson appeals from the District Court's1
order denying his motion to set aside a previous order of
the Court dismissing, for failure to prosecute, the
appeals of his bankruptcy cases.      Because Robinson's
notice of appeal was not filed within the thirty-day time
period provided for by Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure   4(a),   we   lack   appellate   jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.




      1
        The Honorable George Howard, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
