(CA-98-836-5-HC-F-3)
Submitted: March 31, 1999 Decided: April 19, 1999
Before ERVIN, HAMILTON, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James Fountain, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James Fountain appeals the district court’s order denying his
motion for reconsideration of the court’s order dismissing 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 and find no abuse of discretion. 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
