OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Ernest L. Hines noted these appeals outside the 30-day appeal period established by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1), and failed to move for extensions 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 timely appeals or obtain extensions of the appeal period deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider these cases. We therefore dismiss the appeals. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.
DISMISSED
