PER CURIAM:

Brooks James Terrell seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion for modification of sentence under 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2000). In criminal cases, the defendant must

file the notice of appeal within ten days of 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 December 9, 2005;

the ten-day appeal period expired on December 23, 2005. Terrell

filed a notice of appeal and a motion for extension of time to file

a notice of appeal after the ten-day period expired but within the

thirty-day excusable neglect period. Because the notice of appeal

and motion were filed within the excusable neglect period, we

remand the case to the district court for the court to rule on

Terrell’s motion and determine whether Terrell 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.
