   PER CURIAM:

Clifton Bernard Harris seeks to appeal his conviction and sentence. In criminal cases, the defendant must file his notice of appeal within ten days of the entry of judgment. Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(1)(A). With or without a motion, the district court may grant an extension of time to file of up to thirty days upon a showing of excusable neglect or good cause. Fed. R.App. P. 4(b)(4); United States v. Reyes, 759 F.2d 351, 353 (4th Cir.1985). The district court entered its judgment on December 23, 2003; the ten-day appeal period expired on January 8, 2004. See Fed. R.App. P. 26(a)(2) (providing that intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays are excluded when the period is less than eleven days). Harris filed his pro se notice of appeal pro se on January 16, 2004, which was after the ten-day period expired but within the thirty-day excusable neglect period. Because the notice of appeal was filed within the excusable neglect period, we remand the case to the district court for the court to determine whether Harris has shown excusable neglect or good cause warranting an extension of the ten-day appeal period. The record, as supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further consideration. We will defer acting on the Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal until the record is returned to us.
