OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Anthony D. Cooper noted this appeal outside the ten-day appeal period established by Fed.  R. App.  P. 4(b), and failed to move for an extension of the appeal period within the additional thirty-day 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 obtain an extension of the appeal 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
