Rickey Collins Hoggard, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Murdock Robbins, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM: Rickey Collins Hoggard seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. The
notice of appeal was received in the district court shortly after expiration of the appeal period. Because Hoggard is incarcerated,
the notice is considered filed as of the date it was properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to the court. App. P. 4(c)(1); Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988). Fed. R.
The record
does not conclusively reveal when Hoggard gave the notice of appeal to prison officials for mailing. Accordingly, we remand the case
for the limited purpose of allowing the district court to obtain available information from the parties that bears upon this
question and to determine whether the filing was timely under Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1) and Houston v. Lack. The record, as
supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further consideration.
