United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
5/2/86
APPEAL DISMISSED

1
E.D.Mich.

ORDER

2
This matter is before the Court for consideration of appellant's application for a certificate of probable cause in an appeal from a denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254.

3
A review of the record indicates that the appeal must be dismissed as untimely filed.  Rule 4(a)(1), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, specifies that a notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days of the district court's entry of judgment.  In this case the district court entered judgment denying appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus on January 22, 1985.  Appellant, however, did not file a notice of appeal from that judgment until January 6, 1986, nearly one year later.  As a result appellant failed to bring his appeal within the time limitations contained in Rule 4(a)(1), Federal Rules of Appellate-Procedure.

4
It is ORDERED that the appeal be and is hereby dismissed.
