Before KENNEDY and NATHANIEL R. JONES, Circuit Judges, and HARVEY, Senior District Judge*.

ORDER

2
This appeal has been referred to a panel of the court.  A review of the record indicates that the judgment of the district court was entered April 24, 1991.  A notice of appeal was filed April 29, 1991.  On April 30, appellant served a motion for rehearing.  Such motion was served within ten days after entry of the judgment and is properly treated as a Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) time-tolling motion.  See Osterneck v. Ernst & Whinney, 489 U.S. 169, 174 (1989);  Moody v. Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Co., 915 F.2d 201, 206 (6th Cir.1990).  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4) provides that a notice of appeal filed before the disposition of a time-tolling Rule 59 motion shall have no effect.  A timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional.  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 Rule 59 motion.  Rehearing was denied May 9, 1991.  No new notice of appeal was filed.

3
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.  Rule 8(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
