UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Dwayne Edward COE, Defendant-Appellant, 398 F. App'x 927

PER CURIAM: Dwayne Edward Coe seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (2006). In criminal cases, the defendant must file the notice of appeal within fourteen days after the entry of judgment. Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A); see United States v. Alvarez, 210 F.3d 309, 310 (5th Cir.2000) (holding that § 3582 proceeding is criminal in nature and Rule 4(b)(1)(

A) appeal period applies). 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 its order denying the motion for reduction of sentence on December 15, 2009. The notice of appeal was filed on February 16, 2010. Because Coe filed his notice of appeal outside the appeal and extension 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.
