PER CURIAM.
Having been convicted of conspiring to distribute cocaine base, William Edward
Simmons filed his notice of appeal twenty days after judgment was entered in the
district court. Although Simmons’ notice of appeal is untimely, see Fed. R. App. P.
4(b)(1)(A)(i), we remand the case to the district court to determine whether the time for
filing a notice of appeal should be extended under Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4). See United
States v. Petty, 82 F.3d 809, 810 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).
