PER CURIAM:

Roy Sylvester Hunt, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s final order granting 

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissing Hunt’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 

action. The district court received the notice of appeal after the appeal period expired on 

August 2, 2024. Because Hunt is incarcerated, the notice is considered filed as of the date 

it was delivered to prison officials for mailing to the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1); 

Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 276 (1988). The record does not reveal when Hunt gave 

the notice of appeal to prison officials for mailing. Accordingly, we remand this 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 Rule 4(c)(1) and Houston. The 

record, as supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further consideration.
