Heading: Permission to File an Out-of-Time Appeal

Text: Russell also seeks to file an out-of-time appeal of the Parole Commission’s original determination. (Doc. 37.) His notice of appeal should have been taken within forty-five days of his receipt of notice of the Commission’s determination. See 18 U.S.C. § 4106A(b)(2)(A). The timely filing of a notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional. United States v. Robbins, 179 F.3d 1268, 1269 (10th Cir. 1999). Even accepting Russell’s assertion that he did not receive such -7- notice until September 2, 1995 (Doc. 2, at 4 n.3), his notice of appeal was due more than five and a half years ago. Russell’s only explanation for the delay is that he was not told at that time about the possibility of a direct appeal or the time limits. That contention is belied by the record, which shows that Russell was told, “You have the right to appeal the Commission’s determination to the United States Court of Appeals that has jurisdiction over your place of confinement within 45 days of when you receive notice of the determination.” (Doc. 19, Exh. E-2, at 2; see also id. Exh. E, at 1; id. Exh. F, at 2.) We deny the petition.
