UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Henry Earl MILLER, Defendant-Appellant.

PER CURIAM:

Henry Earl Miller 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 June 24, 2005. The notice of appeal was filed on June 29, 2009.

For appeals filed on or after December 1, 2009, the criminal appeal period is fourteen days. Fed.R.Crim.P. 4(b). Because the change took effect after Miller's notice of appeal was filed, it has no bearing on this case, and the applicable criminal appeal period is ten days.

For the purpose of this appeal, we assume that the date appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date it could have been properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to the court. Fed.R.App.P. 4(c); Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 108 S.Ct. 2379, 101 L.Ed.2d 245 (1988).

Because Miller failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension of the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal. We deny all pending motions filed by Miller. 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.
