Before JONES, CONTIE and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

This Court entered an order on March 21, 1986, directing appellant to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction due to a late filed notice of appeal. Appellant has failed to respond.

It appears from the record that the judgment was entered December 31, 1985. The notice of appeal filed on February 3, 1986, was four days late. Rules 4(a) and 26(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

The failure of an appellant to timely file a notice of appeal deprives an appellate court of jurisdiction. Compliance with Rule 4(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, is a mandatory and jurisdictional prerequisite which this Court can neither waive nor extend. Peake v. First Nat'l Bank & Trust Co., 717 F.2d 1016 (6th Cir. 1983). Rule 26(b), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, specifically provides that this Court cannot enlarge the time for filing a notice of appeal.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be and it hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(d)1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
