PER CURIAM:
Sherwin Timothy Farmer seeks to appeal the district courts
orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West
Supp. 2000) and his motions for reconsideration. We deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal.
In appeals involving the United States, parties are accorded
sixty days after entry of the district courts final judgment or
order to note an appeal, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B), unless the
district court extends the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P.
4(a)(5) or reopens the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6).
This appeal period is mandatory and jurisdictional.
