trict Judge. (CA-98-1541-AM)


Submitted:   April 15, 1999                 Decided:   April 19, 1999


Before NIEMEYER and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael G. Outterbridge, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 dismiss-

ing his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998) petition as

time barred.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Outterbridge v. Angelone, No. CA-98-

1541-AM (E.D. Va. Nov. 3, 1998).     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
