OPINION

1
Mary Marrow, widow of Joe Marrow, seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's final order denying Marrow's motion for reconsideration of the denial of black lung benefits.  Marrow filed her petition for appeal outside the sixty-day appeal period established by 33 U.S.C. Sec. 921(c) (1988).  The time period established by Sec. 921(c) is mandatory and jurisdictional.  Adkins v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, 889 F.2d 1360 (4th Cir. 1989).  Appellant's failure to note a timely appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider this case.  We therefore grant the Respondent's motion to dismiss the petition.  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
