Appellee.

PER CURIAM:
Jamie Tobias Gaiters seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying 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 accepting the recommendation of the magis-
trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. See Gaiters v. Angelone, No. CA-99-
1296-2 (E.D. Va. Dec. 2, 1999). 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
