Opinion:
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.
REMANDED.
