A review of the file indicates that the judgment of the district court was entered on October 27, 1987.  A Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) motion was filed in the district court on November 6, 1987.  This motion was served within the ten day period prescribed by Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) as computed by Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(a), and tolled the appeals period.  Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4).  A notice of appeal was filed November 6, 1987.  The Rule 59(e) motion was granted by the district court.

A new notice of appeal must be filed within the prescribed time measured from the entry of the order disposing of the motion...."  A timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional.
