PER CURIAM:

Shon Edward Meeks seeks to appeal his conviction and

sentence. In criminal cases, the defendant must file the notice of

appeal within ten days after the entry of judgment. Fed. R. App.

P. 4(b)(1)(A). 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 judgment on May 27, 2005.

Meeks filed the notice of appeal on June 23, 2005, after the tenday 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 limited purpose of permitting the court to determine

whether Meeks has shown excusable neglect or good cause warranting

an extension of the ten-day appeal period. The record, as

supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further

consideration.
