RON ANGELONE; MARK EARLEY,

Respondents - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA-98-951)

Submitted: October 27, 1998 Decided: November 10, 1998

Before LUTTIG and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lonnie Lee Carr, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp.

1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

and find no reversible error. The district court properly concluded

that Appellant’s petition was time-barred because it was filed more

than one year after Appellant’s conviction became final. Accord-

ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the ap-

peal on the reasoning of the district court. Carr v. Angelone, No.

CA-98-951 (E.D. Va. July 16, 1998). We deny Appellant’s motion for

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
