PER CURIAM:

     Lelmon Jackson Terrell seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying as untimely his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. §

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-

ing of the district court. Terrell v. Miro, No. CA-97-3408-6-10AK

(D.S.C. Aug. 19, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
