Harvey Alexander Carpenter, IV, LAW OFFICES OF H.A. CARPENTER IV, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellant. Joan Brodish Childs, Sandra Jane Hairston, Robert Michael Hamilton, Angela Hewlett Miller, Assistant United States Attorneys, Randall Stuart Galyon, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Cleve Alexander Johnson seeks to appeal the district

court’s order adopting the report and recommendation of the

magistrate judge and denying Johnson’s

(2012)

motion. The notice of appeal was received in the district court

after expiration of the appeal period. However, Johnson claims

that he did not receive notice of the district court’s final

order in a timely manner. Accordingly, we remand the case for

the limited purpose of allowing the district court to determine

whether the time for filing a notice of appeal should be

reopened under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). The record, as

supplemented, will then be returned to this court for further

consideration.

REMANDED
