Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Clarence Edward Alexander 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 February 2,
1996. Alexander filed his notice of appeal on March 16, 2005, far
beyond the appeal or extension period. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal as untimely filed. We dispense with oral argument as the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court.
DISMISSED
