Eckles filed a notice of appeal outside of the appeal period, and we remanded to the district court to determine whether Eckles had demonstrated excusable neglect or good cause warranting an extension of the appeal period. See United States v. Eckles, 328 F. App'x 255 (4th Cir. June 25, 2009) (No. 09-6625). The district court found Eckles demonstrated good cause and therefore deemed the notice of appeal timely filed. Accordingly, we review the appeal on the merits.
