Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, AND BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Juan Ernesto Castro, Texas prisoner number 774844, appeals

the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition

for a writ of habeas corpus as time-barred. Castro has not shown

AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.

     AFFIRMED.
