Before RUSSELL, ERVIN and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
1Elizabeth Gillis seeks to appeal the district court's dismissal of her suit filed pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 5 1346(b). Before us is appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal.
2The district court, adopting the recommendation of the magistrate, entered its judgment on December 17, 1985. Gillis filed a notice of appeal on April 13, 1986, far in excess of the 0ixty-day time limit for noting an appeal in a suit to which the United States is a party. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a). Gillis did not file, within thirty days after the expiration of the appeal period, a motion for extension of the filing period. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a) (5); Shah v. Hutto, 722 F.2d 1167 (4th Cir. 1983) (en banc), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 975 (1984). In the absence of a timely notice of appeal or a timely motion for extension of the filing period, we are without jurisdiction to review the case. Hensle v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co., 651 F.2d 226, 228 (4th Cir. 1981). We therefore grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.
