UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-6997
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
STANLEY A. SLUPKOWSKI,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
District Judge. (1:93-cr-00219)
Submitted: July 31, 2008 Decided: August 11, 2008
Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Stanley A. Slupkowski, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Stanley A. Slupkowski seeks to appeal the district
court’s order granting the government’s motion to dismiss the
pending indictment against him. In criminal cases, the defendant
must file the notice of appeal within ten days after the entry of
judgment. Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A). 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 judgment on June 14, 1994.
The notice of appeal was filed on May 20, 2008. Because Slupkowski
failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension
of the appeal 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
