PER CURIAM:

           Clyde Henry Newby, Jr. seeks to appeal his conviction and

sentence. In criminal cases, the defendant must file his notice of

appeal within ten days of the entry of judgment.          Fed. R. App. P.

4(b)(1)(A). With or without a motion, the district court may grant

an extension of time to file of up to thirty days upon a showing of

excusable neglect or good cause.         Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4); United

States v. Reyes, 759 F.2d 351, 353 (4th Cir. 1985).

           The district court entered its judgment on December 15,

2004; the ten-day appeal period expired on December 30, 2004.

Newby filed his notice of appeal after the ten-day period expired

but within the thirty-day excusable neglect period.             Because the

notice of appeal was filed within the excusable neglect period, we

remand the case to the district court for the court to determine

whether Newby 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
