PER CURIAM:

           Tavon Robinson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010)

motion.      That   order    was   entered    by   the   district    court   on

February 19, 2010.       Robinson, then a prisoner proceeding pro se,

filed his notice of appeal between August 9 and August 11, 2010. *

Robinson’s notice of appeal is clearly untimely.                See Fed. R.

App. P. 4(a)(1)(A).         In his notice, however, Robinson indicated

that he never received the district court’s order.                  Under Fed.

R. App. P. 4(a)(6), the district court may reopen the time to

file an appeal for a fourteen-day period if: (1) the moving

party did not receive notice of entry of judgment within twenty-

one days after its entry; (2) a motion to reopen the appeal

period is filed within 180 days of entry of judgment or within

fourteen   days     of   receiving   notice   from   the   district     court,

whichever is earlier; and (3) no party would be prejudiced by

reopening.     We remand to the district court for the limited

purpose of determining whether Robinson is entitled to have his

time to file an appeal reopened under Rule 4(a)(6).             The record,

     *
       Robinson hand-dated his notice of appeal August 9, 2010;
the prison mail room dated it August 11, 2010.

                                      2
as supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further

consideration.
