    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
    trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District
    Judge. (CA-95-1450-AM)
    Submitted:   April 15, 1996                   Decided:   May 3, 1996
    Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    George Maurice Lewis, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 November 14, 1995; Appellant's notice of
    appeal was filed on December 22, 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
