Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
MARTIN O’MALLEY, Mayor,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(1:05-cv-03081-BEL)
Submitted: December 14, 2007 Decided: December 28, 2007
Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael L. Pack, Appellant Pro Se. James R. Benjamin, Jr.,
BALTIMORE CITY LAW DEPARTMENT, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael L. Pack seeks to appeal the district court’s
order and correspondence informing him the Appellee filed a motion
to dismiss and granting the motion to dismiss. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was
not timely filed.
Parties are accorded thirty days after the entry of the
district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R.
App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the appeal
period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the appeal period
under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). This appeal period is “mandatory
and jurisdictional.” Browder v. Dir., Dep’t of Corr., 434 U.S.
257, 264 (1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 361 U.S. 220,
229 (1960)).
The district court’s order was entered on the docket on
February 16, 2007. The notice of appeal was filed on August 30,
2007. Because Pack failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to
obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we 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
