PER CURIAM:

Rickey Collins Hoggard seeks to appeal the district

court’s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. The

notice of appeal was received in the district court shortly after

expiration of the appeal period. Because Hoggard 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 conclusively reveal when Hoggard 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

available information from the parties that bears upon this

question 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.

REMANDED
