    John Wesley OWNBY, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. G.K. WASHINGTON, Warden, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 01-6853.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. .
    Submitted Aug. 23, 2001.
    Decided Sept. 5, 2001.
    John Wesley Ownby, Jr., pro se.
    Before WILKINS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

John Wesley Ownby, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing as untimely 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 a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Ownby v. Washington, No. CA-01-159-7 (W.D.Va. Apr. 19, 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.
