Submitted: September 18, 1997 Filed: September 22, 1997 ___________

Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Johnnie W. Robinson appeals from the District Court's1 order denying his motion to set aside a previous order of the Court dismissing, for failure to prosecute, the appeals of his bankruptcy cases. Because Robinson's notice of appeal was not filed within the thirty-day time period provided for by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a), we lack appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss.
