PER CURIAM:

Clinton Deshannon Myers seeks to appeal the district

court order denying his motions to reopen the time to file a notice

of appeal from his criminal judgment and for production of

transcripts. In criminal cases, the defendant must file the notice

of appeal within ten days after “the entry of either the judgment

or the order being appealed.” Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i). With

or without a motion, upon a showing of excusable neglect or good

cause, the district court may grant an extension of up to thirty

days to file a notice of appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4); United

States v. Reyes, 759 F.2d 351, 353 (4th Cir. 1985).

The district court entered its order on March 9, 2007.

Myers’ undated notice of appeal was postmarked on April 11, 2007,

after the ten-day period expired but within the thirty-day

excusable neglect period. Because the notice of appeal was filed

within the excusable neglect period, we remand the case to the

district court for the court to determine whether Myers has shown

excusable neglect or good cause warranting an extension of the tenday appeal period. The record, as supplemented, will then be

returned to this court for further consideration.
