No. 95-40994
Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
CURLEY ADAMS, JR.
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Eastern District of Texas
(1:95-CR-2-1)
May 22, 1997
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Curley Adams, Jr. appears before this court without a timely
notice of appeal because the district court found no excusable
neglect which would justify extending the time for appeal thirty
days under Fed. R. App. P. 4(b). Because we find that the district
court did not abuse its discretion in denying an extension of time
for appeal, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See
United States v. Clark, 51 F.3d 42 (5th Cir. 1995).
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
