Omar Yusuf Desanges, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Jack Bondurant, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Omar Yusuf Desanges seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing as untimely his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district

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.       United States v. Desanges, Nos.

CR-95-46; CA-02-126-7 (W.D. Va. May 2, 2002). 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
