trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District
Judge. (CA-99-980-7)
Submitted: April 27, 2000 Decided: May 4, 2000

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John D. Simpson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John David Simpson seeks to appeal the district court's orders
(1) denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 1999), as time-barred, and (2) denying his mo-
tion filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the rec-
ord and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Simpson v.
Angelone, No. CA-99-980-7 (W.D. Va. Dec. 29, 1999; Feb. 3, 2000).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
