             Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Eastern District of Texas
                             (5:99-CV-226)

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

         Pursuant to a certificate of appealability granted by the

district court, Garry Williams (TDCJ # 512111) appeals the district

court’s determination that his habeas corpus petition should be

dismissed as time-barred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). Williams

asserted in his petition that his calendar time and good-time

credits     unconstitutionally    were    forfeited   after   he   was

reincarcerated on a parole violation.        He contends that he is in



     *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
the custody of an administrative agency; and that, therefore, §

2244(d) does not apply.   He also contends that a parole revocation

is not the equivalent of a conviction.

    Williams’ contentions are without merit; his challenge to the

denial of sentencing credit for the time he spent on parole,

“although directly arising from an order of the pardon and parole

board, nevertheless also is one arising” from the judgment of a

state court.   See Newby v. Johnson, 81 F.3d 567, 569 (5th Cir.

1996).   Section 2244(d), by its terms, applies to “an application

for a writ of habeas corpus by a person in custody pursuant to the

judgment of a State court”.   See § 2244(d)(1) (emphasis added).   In

Alexander v. Johnson, 163 F.3d 906, 907 n.1 (5th Cir. 1998), this

court noted that a petition, which challenged the revocation of

parole, was “timely filed” under § 2244(d).

     We do not consider the contentions raised for the first time

by Williams in his reply brief. See Stevens v. C.I.T. Group/Equip.

Fin., Inc., 955 F.2d 1023, 1026 (5th Cir. 1992); see also Knighten

v. C.I.R., 702 F.2d 59, 60 n.1 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 464 U.S.

897 (1983).
