OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Franklyn Bannerman appeals from a district court order that con-
cluded his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1998) was barred by the one-year limitations period provided
by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.
L. No. 104-32, 110 Stat. 1214. Bannerman was convicted in 1991,
and he filed his habeas motion on March 14, 1997. Bannerman had
until April 23, 1997, to file his § 2255 motion. See Brown v.
Angelone, ___ F.3d ___, 1998 WL 389030 (4th Cir. July 14, 1998)
(Nos. 96-7173, 96-7208). Therefore, his motion was not time-barred.
Accordingly, we grant a certificate of appealability on this issue,
vacate the district court's order, and remand for further proceedings.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
