Before PHILLIPS, SPROUSE, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Terry M. Sweeney noted this appeal outside the sixty-day appeal period established by 33 U.S.C. § 921(c) (1988). The time period established by 33 U.S.C. § 921(c) is jurisdictional. Adkins v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, 889 F.2d 1360, 1363 (4th Cir. 1989). Appellant's failure to note a timely appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider this case. We therefore dismiss the appeal. We dispense with 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
