PER CURIAM:

Domaine Martin appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b)

(2000). In criminal cases, a defendant must file his notice of

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

4(b)(1)(A). The district court, with or without a motion, may

grant an extension of time to file a notice of appeal of up to

thirty days upon a showing of excusable neglect or good cause.

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 March 29, 2006;

the ten-day appeal period expired on April 12, 2006. Martin filed

a notice of appeal after the ten-day appeal 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

Martin 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. We deny Martin’s motion for a certificate of

appealability as unnecessary.
