Vernon RIPLEY, Petitioner-Appellant, v. David ROBINSON, Warden, Respondent-Appellee, 158 F. App'x 437

PER CURIAM: Vernon Ripley seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(

e) and 60(b). The notice of appeal was received in the district court shortly after expiration of the appeal period. Under Fed. R.App. P. 4(c)(1) and Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 108 S.Ct. 2379, 101 L.Ed.2d 245 (1988), the notice is considered filed as of the date Ripley properly delivered it to prison officials for mailing to the court. The record does not reveal if or when Ripley complied with the requirements of Fed. RApp. P. 4(c)(1). Accordingly, we remand the case for the district court to obtain this information from the parties and to determine whether the filing was timely under Fed. R.App.

P. 4(c)(1) and Houston v. Lack. The record, as supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further consideration. REMANDED
