ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, BARRETT, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The case is therefore ordered 

Plaintiff appeals from an order of the district court filed 

June 28, 1988, dismissing his civil rights action filed pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his notice of appeal on 

August 1, 1988, thirty-four days after the district court entered 

its order. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

Appellate Case: 88-2202 Document: 01019959059 Date Filed: 01/10/1990 Page: 1 
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(l) provides that a notice of appeal 

shall be filed within thirty days after the date of entry of the 

district court's order from which the appeal is taken. Upon a 

showing of excusable neglect or good cause, the district court may 

extend the time for filing a notice of appeal upon motion filed 

not later than thirty days after the initial thirty-day time 

period. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5); Mayfield v. United States Parole 

Comm'n, 647 F.2d 1053, 1055 (10th Cir. 1981). Failure to make the 

motion before the end of the thirty-day grace period extinguishes 

the right to appeal. Mayfield, 647 F.2d at 1055. 

Plaintiff failed to file a motion to extend the time for 

filing a notice of appeal. The time for doing so has now expired 

beyond revival. See id. Compliance with filing requirements is 

mandatory and jurisdictional. Browder v. Director, Dep't of 

Corrections, 434 U.S. 257, 264 (1978). 

Accordingly, we conclude we do not have jurisdiction to 

consider this appeal. The appeal is DISMISSED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
