IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-10093

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ENRIQUE MARTINEZ ALONSO,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:02-CR-201-1

Before KING, STEWART, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

*

In 2004, Enrique Martinez Alonso pleaded guilty to one count of

conspiracy to violate rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241, and was sentenced

to 38 months in prison. Six years later, Alonso asked the district court for an

extension of time to resubmit his appeal brief. The district court construed

Alonso’s request as a request for an out-of-time appeal and denied it pursuant

to FED R. APP. P. 4(b). The district court also denied Alonso’s request for

appointed counsel.

Lyle W. Cayce

Clerk

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not *

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.

R. 47.5.4.

 Case: 10-10093 Document: 00511138649 Page: 1 Date Filed: 06/10/2010
No. 10-10093

Alonso did not file a notice of appeal from the instant conviction within 10

days after the entry of the criminal judgment. See FED. R. APP. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i).

His appeal also was noticed beyond the 30-day time limit for extending the

appeal period under FED. R. APP. P. 4(b)(4). Thus, the district court did not err

in enforcing the time limitations set forth in FED. R. APP. P. 4(b), and this court

may not reverse its decision to do so. See United States v. Leijano-Cruz, 473 F.3d

571, 574 (5th Cir. 2006). His appeal is dismissed as untimely. Alonso's motion

for appointment of counsel is DENIED.

APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
