PER CURIAM:

Thurman Dominick Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2012) motion. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1)(B), a notice of appeal in a civil case in which the United States is a party must be filed with the district court within sixty days after judgment is entered. “[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007). The district court may extend the filing time if “a party so moves no later than 30 days after the time prescribed by ... Rule 4(a) expires” and the party shows excusable neglect or good cause. Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5)(A).

The district court denied Brown’s § 2255 motion on March 27, 2012. Therefore, Brown had until May 29, 2012, to file a notice of appeal. Brown, however, filed his undated notice of appeal, at the earliest, on June 12, 2012, fourteen days after the expiration of the sixty-day appeal period. We liberally construe Brown’s notice of appeal, which he filed within the thirty-day excusable neglect period, as a request for an extension of the appeal period. Accordingly, we remand this case to the district court for the limited purpose of enabling the court to determine whether Brown has shown excusable neglect or good cause warranting an extension of time to appeal. The record, as supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further consideration.

REMANDED.
