William Randolph Davis v. Carroll County Sheriff's Department Audrey Keys, Deputy William Thomas, Assistant Warden

947 F.2d 940 NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth Circuit. William Randolph DAVIS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CARROLL COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; Audrey Keys, Deputy; WILLIAM THOMAS, Assistant Warden, Defendants-Appellees. No. 91-7209. United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. Submitted Oct. 28, 1991. Decided Nov. 12, 1991. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. John R. Hargrove, District Judge. (CA-90-2671-HAR) William Randolph Davis, appellant pro se. Paul T. Cuzmanes, Weinberg & Green, Baltimore, Md., for appellees. D.Md. DISMISSED. Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, SPROUSE, Circuit Judge, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge. OPINION PER CURIAM: [1] William Randolph Davis 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 dismiss 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. [2] DISMISSED.
