PER CURIAM:
Tennyson Harris seeks to appeal his sentence. 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 August 15, 2006.
The notice of appeal was filed on October 16, 2006. Because
Harris 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
