v.
CARL DEECK, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 93-6731.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: August 20, 1993.
Decided: September 23, 1993.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.
Cecil Jerome Waters, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Glenn William Bell, Office of the Attorney General of Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
D.Md.
DISMISSED
Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Cecil Jerome Waters noted this appeal outside the thirty-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 thirty-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. We therefore 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
