PER CURIAM:

     Appellant noted Appeal No. 95-7637 outside the sixty-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 jurisdiction-

al." Browder v. Director, Dep't of Corrections, 

, 264
(1978) (quoting United States v. Robinson, 

, 229

(1960)). The district court entered its order on June 15, 1995;

Appellant's notice of appeal was filed on August 29, 1995. Appel-

lant'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 Appeal No. 95-7637.

     In Appeal No. 95-7759, Appellant appeals from the district
court's orders denying her motion to file a notice of appeal out of

time and denying reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find no abuse of

discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, in No. 95-7759, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Richardson, Nos. CR-92-207-L; CA-94-3361-L (D. Md. Oct. 16, 1995).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.


                                    No. 95-7637 - DISMISSED

                                3
    No. 95-7759 - AFFIRMED
