OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Carol Richardson appeals from a district court order finding her
motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998)
barred by the one-year limitations period of 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West Supp. 1998). Richardson had until April 23, 1997 to file her
§ 2255 motion. See Brown v. Angelone, ___ F.3d ___, 1998 WL
389030 (4th Cir. July 14, 1998) (Nos. 96-7173, 96-7208). Because
she filed the motion on February 3, 1997, it was not time barred. We
therefore grant a certificate of appealability, vacate the district court's
order, and remand for further proceedings. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
