PER CURIAM:
Lawrence D. Morderosian seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion for extension of time to appeal its dis-
missal of his civil action. The district court entered an order on
July 16, 2001 granting Morderosian thirty days in which to appeal
its April 30, 2001 order denying him an extension of time to
appeal. The court later emphasized in a July 31, 2001 order that
Morderosian had until August 15, 2001 to note his appeal. We
conclude the district court was without jurisdiction to so extend
the appeal period because more than sixty days had lapsed since the
April 30, 2001 order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5)(c). In any
event, Morderosian’s notice of appeal was not filed until August
17, 2001.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
We deny Morderosian’s motion for 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.
DISMISSED
