OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Tami Charles Plumer noted this appeal outside the thirty-day appeal period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(1), and the district court denied her motion 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 deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal.   We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

2
DISMISSED.

*
 We find that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Plumer's motion for an extension of time in which to appeal
