PER CURIAM:
Angonetha Singleton and Margaret Greene appeal the
district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and granting summary judgment in favor of
Defendant in their 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2000e-17 (2000) action.
Parties are accorded thirty days after the entry of the
district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. R.
App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the appeal
period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the appeal period
under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). This appeal period is “mandatory
and jurisdictional.” Browder v. Dir., Dep’t of Corr., 434 U.S.
257, 264 (1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 361 U.S. 220,
229 (1960)).
The district court’s order was entered on the docket on
March 30, 2007. Greene’s notice of appeal was filed on May 14,
2007. Because Greene failed to file a timely notice of appeal or
to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we deny
leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss her appeal, No. 07-
1418.
With regard to Singleton, we have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed
in forma pauperis and affirm in No. 07-1411 for the reasons stated
by the district court. Culler v. Thrifty Car Rental, No. 3:05-cv-
01758- MBS (D.S.C. March 30, 2007). We dispense with oral argument
- 3 -
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
No. 07-1411 AFFIRMED
No. 07-1428 DISMISSED
