Gary TEAGUE, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
John PATSEAVORAS; Earl D. Beshears; Charles M. Creecy,
Defendants-Appellees.

No. 88-6604.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: May 26, 1988.
Decided: June 28, 1988.

Gary Teague, appellant pro se.

LaVee Hamer Jackson, Office of the Attorney General of North Carolina, for appellees.

Before DONALD RUSSELL and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

1

Gary Teague 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.
