PER CURIAM: This appeal, filed sixty three days after the denial of the petition for writ of habeas corpus, is dismissed.1 See Allen v. Wainwright, 5 Cir., 1967, 384 F.2d 745. There is no showing that the failure ,to file the notice of appeal within the extended time period of 30 days provided under Rule 4(a), Federal Rules Appellate Procedure, was attributable to anyone other than appellant. We thus deem the case of Fallen v. United States, 1964, 378 U.S. 139, 84 S.Ct. 1689, 12 L.Ed.2d 760, to be inapplicable.
