Zachary Williams, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., At-
torney General, Mary Ann Rapp Ince, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Zachary Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s orders

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

Supp. 2001), as untimely filed and denying his motions filed under

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

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

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.   Williams v. Menifee, No. CA-

00-3504-CCB (D. Md. filed Feb. 1, 2001 & entered Feb. 2, 2001;

filed Feb. 7, 2001 & entered Feb. 8, 2001; Feb. 14, 2001).       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

       This case was placed in abeyance pending our decision in

Sept. 6, 2001) (unpublished).
