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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
