PER CURIAM:

Turonn Lewis seeks to appeal his 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 June 14, 1993.

The notice of appeal was filed on December 26, 2007.* Because

Lewis failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an

extension of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
