Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       In this direct criminal appeal, counsel for Curtis Waheed Rasool has filed a
motion seeking leave to withdraw and a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

 (1967), and Rasool has filed a pro se supplemental brief. Rasool pleaded
guilty to a drug-conspiracy charge and was sentenced to 159 months in prison and 10
years of supervised release. The district court1 entered judgment on May 23, 2006.
Rasool’s pro se notice of appeal, dated June 12 and postmarked June 15, was date-
stamped as received by the district court on June 19. Even if the notice of appeal is

      1
       The Honorable George Howard, Jr., late a United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
deemed filed on June 12, it was not filed within 10 days of entry of judgment and is
therefore untimely. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i). A district court may, however,
grant a defendant an additional 30 days in which to file a notice of appeal upon a
showing of excusable neglect or good cause. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4).

      Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is held in abeyance and the case is
remanded to the district court to determine whether the time for filing a notice of
appeal should be extended under Rule 4(b)(4). See United States v. Petty, 

, 810 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). Upon ruling, the district court shall promptly
return the case to this court for dismissal or further proceedings, as may be
appropriate.
