Prosecutor,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. Charles E. Simons, Jr., Senior
District Judge. (CA-95-1475-6-6AK)
Submitted: January 18, 1996 Decided: February 8, 1996
Before HAMILTON and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert Ellis, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 June 9, 1995; Appellant's notice of ap-
peal was filed on November 2, 1995. 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 dis-
miss 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
