PER CURIAM.

William Glenn Kimbrell seeks to appeal the sentence the district court1

 imposed

after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and

filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). 

Kimbrell’s notice of appeal was untimely filed twenty-nine days after judgment

was entered. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i). An accompanying motion, however,

requested leave to file the notice of appeal pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 4(b)(4), which authorizes the district court, “before or after the time has

expired, with or without motion and notice,” to extend the appeal period for up to 30

days “[u]pon a finding of excusable neglect or good cause.” Accordingly, we remand

the case to the district court to rule on the Rule 4(b)(4) motion. See United States v.

Petty, 82 F.3d 809, 810 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). The district court should return

the case to this court after the pending motion is resolved.
