No. 90-1138.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

ORDER

1
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

2
A review of the record indicates that appellant's 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 motion to vacate, set aside and/or correct sentence was denied by order filed January 4, 1990.  The judgment was entered January 17, 1990.  A motion for reconsideration was served on January 10, 1990, which was within ten days after entry of the decision and is properly treated as a Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) time-tolling motion.   See Craig v. Lynaugh, 846 F.2d 11, 13 (5th Cir.1988), cert. denied, 109 S.Ct. 2436 (1989);  Kennedy v. City of Cleveland, 797 F.2d 297, 305 (6th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 1103 (1987);  Huff v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 675 F.2d 119, 122 (6th Cir.1982).  A notice of appeal was filed January 16, 1990.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4) provides that a notice of appeal filed before the disposition of a timely Rule 59 motion shall have no effect.  A timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional.   Osterneck v. Ernst & Whinney, 489 U.S. 169 (1989);  Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 61 (1982) (per curiam).  A new notice of appeal must be filed after entry of the ruling on the motion for reconsideration.

3
It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
