No. 10-10093 Summary Calendar.
June 10, 2010.
Jeffrey S. Blumberg, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Washington, DC, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Enrique Martinez Alonso, Washington, MS, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 3:02-CR-201-1.
Before KING, STEWART, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
In 2004, Enrique Martinez Alonso pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241, and was sentenced to 38 months in prison. Six years later, Alonso asked the district court for an extension of time to resubmit his appeal brief. The district court construed Alonso's request as a request for an out-of-time appeal and denied it pursuant to FED R.APP. P. 4(b). The district court also denied Alonso's request for appointed counsel.
Alonso did not file a notice of appeal from the instant conviction within 10 days after the entry of the criminal judgment. See FED. R.APP. P. 4(b)(1)(A)(i). His appeal also was noticed beyond the 30-day time limit for extending the appeal period under FED. R.APP. P. 4(b)(4). Thus, the district court did not err in enforcing the time limitations set forth in FED. R.APP. P. 4(b), and this court may not reverse its decision to do so. § United States v. Leijano-Cruz, 473 F.3d 571, 574 (5th Cir. 2006). His appeal is dismissed as untimely. Alonso's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
