Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

In this appeal filed pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), James Ramon Tucker seeks to challenge his conviction and the 125-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2006). In criminal cases, a defendant must file his notice of appeal within 14 days after the entry of judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i). With or without a motion, upon a showing of excusable neglect or good cause, the district court may grant an extension of up to 30 days. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4); United States v. Reyes, 759 F.2d 351, 353 (4th Cir. 1985).

The district court entered the criminal judgment against Tucker on November 14, 2011. The court later denied Tucker’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion, and we dismissed the appeal of that denial in 2015. See United States v. Tucker, 600 Fed. Appx. 149 (4th Cir. 2015) (No. 14-7700). Tucker waited until October 24, 2016 to note an appeal from the criminal judgment against him. * Because Tucker failed to file a timely notice of appeal, and since Tucker has completed collateral review of the criminal judgment against him, we exercise our inherent authority to dismiss this appeal sua sponte. See United States v. Oliver, 878 F.3d 120, 128 (4th Cir. 2017) (holding that this court should sua sponte dismiss an untimely criminal appeal when the appeal is filed “after the defendant has completed collateral review of the same judgment”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
