Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.

1998) as untimely filed.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Wheelous v. Garraghty,

No. CA-97-444-2 (E.D. Va. Feb. 16, 1999).    We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
