Submitted April 2, 1990.Decided April 16, 1990.

DISMISSED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and PHILLIPS and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Alexander Dianopolis noted this appeal outside the 10-day appeal period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(b), and outside of the additional 30-day extension period provided by Fed.R.App.P. 4(b).  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 to note an appeal during the extension period deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider this case.*   We therefore 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.

DISMISSED

 Dianopolis contended that he did not receive notice of the district court's order until after the expiration of the appeal period and the excusable neglect period;  however, "lack of notice of the entry [of judgment] by the clerk does not affect the time to appeal."    Fed.R.Crim.P. 49(c)
