Agnew v. Garraghty

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Terrence Agnew seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. * See Agnew v. Garraghty, No. CA-01-1743-AM (E.D.Va. Nov. 27, 2001). 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.

*

Additionally, we find the district court’s sua sponte dismissal of Agnew’s petition does not implicate Hill v. Braxton, 277 F.3d 701, 707 (4th Cir. 2002), as Agnew failed to offer a valid basis that would justify either reliance on a later starting point in 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244(d)(1) (West Supp. 2001), or equitable tolling, thereby salvaging his otherwise untimely petition.
