Anne HASTINGS, DS# 53378, Claimant-Appellant,
v.
A.H. ROBINS COMPANY, INCORPORATED, Debtor-Appellee.

No. 88-2588.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted May 10, 1989.
Decided Aug. 4, 1989.

Anne Hastings, appellant pro se.

Linda Jenkins Thomason, Mays & Valentine, for appellee.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Anne Hastings noted this appeal outside the 30-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 30-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 grant appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
