Stuart A. Berman, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt,

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

                                2
PER CURIAM:

          Jamerson    Devoir       Tillman     and   James      Tillman    seek    to

appeal their convictions and sentences.                In criminal cases, the

defendant must file the notice of appeal within fourteen 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     the      judgments        on

September 25,     2001.      The     notices    of     appeal    were     filed    on

October 25, 2010.      Because        Jamerson Tillman and James Tillman

failed to file timely notices of appeal or obtain an extension

of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeals.                   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

                                        3
