Michael David Turner, Appellant Pro Se.  Laura Marie Everhart,
Assistant  United  States   Attorney, Norfolk,  Virginia,  for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Michael     David     Turner        seeks   to   appeal    the    district

court’s order denying his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010)

motion.        Although       the   notice    of    appeal     is    dated   within    the

appeal period, it was received in the district court shortly

after     the        appeal     period       expired.          Because       Turner     is

incarcerated, the notice is considered filed as of the date it

was properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to the

court.    Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1); Houston v. Lack, 
487 U.S. 266
(1988).       The record does not reveal when Turner 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    this      information         from   the    parties    and   to

determine whether the filing was timely under Fed. R. App. P. 4

and Houston v. Lack.            The record, as supplemented, will then be

returned to this court for further consideration.

                                                                                REMANDED
