ORDER
Appellant has responded to this Court's order to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed.
On September 30, 1986, the district court entered an order dismissing appellant's civil rights action. Absent any time-tolling motion, the notice of appeal was due on October 30, 1986. The motion to reconsider the judgment of September 30, 1986, was served on October 20, 1986. Because the motion was not served within 10 days of entry of the order as required by Rule 59(e), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the motion did not toll the time for filing the notice of appeal. Myers v. Ace Hardware, 777 F.2d 1099 (6th Cir.1985).
The notice of appeal, filed November 26, 1986, is 27 days late. Rule 4(a) and 26(b), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Compliance with Rule 4(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, is a mandatory and jurisdictional prerequisite which this Court can neither waive nor extend. Peake v. First Nat'l Bank & Trust Co., 717 F.2d 1016 (6th Cir.1983). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. Rule 9(b)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. The "motion instanter" is rendered moot.
