OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Roy Sexton noted this appeal outside the sixty-day appeal period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(1), and failed to move for an extension of the appeal period within the additional thirty-day period provided by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(5).   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 grant the Appellee's motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal.   We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

DISMISSED.
