PER CURIAM.
Connie and Karl Guthrie appeal the district court’s1 denial of their motion under
Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) for an extension of time to file an appeal
in their civil action. After careful review, see Gibbons v. United States, 317 F.3d 852,
1
The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
853-54 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by
finding that the Guthries failed to show excusable neglect warranting an extension.
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
