PER CURIAM:
William Jamison seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998). We find that Jamison’s petition was not timely
filed in the district court. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244(d) (West Supp.
1998); Brown v. Angelone, 150 F.3d 370, 374-76 (4th Cir. 1998).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal. 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
