UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

 v. 

GWAUN DIRON FRIERSON, 

 Defendant - Appellant. 

No. 07-6193

(D.C. No. CR–00214-001-HE)

ORDER

Filed September 12, 2007

Before HENRY, TYMKOVICH, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

Defendant Frierson appeals the district court’s final judgment entered on July

17, 2007 in his criminal case.

Under Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i), the ten-day deadline for filing a timely

notice of appeal as to the judgment appealed by Defendant expired on July 31, 2007.

Defendant filed a notice of appeal on August 24, 2007, which was twenty-four days

past the initial ten-day filing deadline but within the thirty-day permissible extension

period that expired on August 30, 2007. Defendant filed a “motion for extension of

time to file notice of appeal” in the district court. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4). In

an August 31, 2007 Order, the district court denied Defendant’s motion, concluding

that he failed to show excusable neglect or good cause to justify an extension of

time. 

Defendant’s notice of appeal is untimely. This court lacks appellate

jurisdiction.

The appeal is DISMISSED.
