UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

ANTHONY G. HOGAN,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
PRINCE WILLIAM-MANASSAS ADULT DETENTION CENTER,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, District
Judge. (CA-95-16-AM)

Before HALL, WILKINS, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Anthony G. Hogan, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant noted this appeal outside the thirty-day appeal
period established by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1), failed to obtain an
extension of the appeal period within the additional thirty-day
period provided by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), and is not entitled to
relief under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). 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)). The district
court entered its order on March 29, 1995; Appellant's notice of
appeal was filed on December 5, 1995. Appellant's failure to note
a timely appeal or obtain an extension of the appeal period de-
prives this court of jurisdiction to consider this case. We there-
fore dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
