Shain Collins v. Harold Clarke

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-6835 SHAIN CLAUDE COLLINS, Petitioner - Appellant, v. HAROLD W. CLARKE, Director, Department of Corrections, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, Chief District Judge. (7:13-cv-00474-GEC) Submitted: November 22, 2016 Decided: November 28, 2016 Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion. Shain Claude Collins, Appellant Pro Se. Craig Stallard, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Shain Claude Collins seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. Collins argued in his notice of appeal, and the record suggests, that he did not timely receive notice of the entry of the district court’s order, and further requested a reopening of the appeal period. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6)(A). Because the 30-day appeal period is jurisdictional, Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007), we remand the case for the limited purpose of allowing the district court to determine whether to reopen the time to file an appeal, pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). REMANDED 2
