Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Dwayne Edward Coe seeks to appeal the district court’s

order   denying      his     motion    for    reduction      of    sentence   under

18 U.S.C. § 3582 (2006).          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); see United States v.

Alvarez, 210 F.3d 309, 310 (5th Cir. 2000) (holding that § 3582

proceeding     is   criminal    in     nature   and   Rule    4(b)(1)(A)      appeal

period applies).        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      its    order    denying   the

motion for reduction of sentence on December 15, 2009.                          The

notice of appeal was filed on February 16, 2010.                       Because Coe

filed   his    notice   of    appeal    outside    the    appeal     and   extension

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

                                          2
