    No. 98-2252.
    United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
    Argued Dec. 11, 1998.
    Decided Dec. 21, 1998.
    Marsha R. Taubenhaus, New York City, for Petitioner-Appellant.
    Joseph N. Ferdenzi, Assistant District Attorney, Bronx County (Nancy D. Killian, Assistant District Attorney, of counsel), Bronx, New York, for Respondent-Appellee.
    Before: WINTER, Chief Judge, JACOBS, and POOLER, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Alfredo Rodriguez appeals from Judge So-tomayor’s order dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus as untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). Rodriguez contends that application of the one-year statute of limitations in Section 2244 effects an unconstitutional suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. See U.S. Const., Art. I, § 9, cl. 2. We affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. See Rodriguez v. Artuz, 990 F.Supp. 275 (S.D.N.Y.1998).
