    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kareem TOMLIN, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 04-7012.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Sept. 16, 2004.
    Decided Sept. 23, 2004.
    Kareem Tomlin, Appellant pro se. Robert James Conrad, Jr., Office of the United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before LUTTIG, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

Kareem Tomlin seeks to appeal his 1993 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). Tomlin filed his notice of appeal many years after the expiration of the appeal period. Because Tomlin failed to file a timely notice of appeal, 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
