PER CURIAM:

David Michael Montgomery seeks to appeal the district 

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 

complaint. The notice of appeal was received in the district 

court shortly after expiration of the appeal period. Because 

Montgomery is incarcerated, the notice is considered filed as of 

the date it was properly delivered to prison officials for 

mailing to the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1); Houston v. Lack, 

487 U.S. 266 (1988). The record does not reveal when Montgomery

gave the notice of appeal to prison officials for mailing. 

Accordingly, we remand the case for the limited purpose of 

allowing the district court to obtain this information from the 

parties and to determine whether the filing was timely under 

Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1) and Houston v. Lack. The record, as 

supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further 

consideration.
