No. 88-6535.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted:  April 13, 1988.Decided:  May 16, 1988.

Frankie Miller, appellant pro se.
Mark Ralph Davis, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.
Before MURNAGHAN, ERVIN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Frankie Miller noted this appeal outside the 30-day appeal period established by Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(1), and failed to move for an extension of the appeal period within the additional 30-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.   See Shah v. Hutto, 722 F.2d 1167 (4th Cir.1983) (en banc), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 975 (1984).  We therefore dismiss the appeal.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.
