PER CURIAM:
Alphonso Steve Bryant seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict 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. Bryant v. Angelone, No. CA-
00-261-3 (E.D. Va. Sept. 15, 2000). 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
*
The district court’s memorandum opinion incorrectly states
that Bryant had until June 8, 2000 to file his § 2254 petition,
rather than June 8, 1999. This error does not affect the district
court’s conclusion that Bryant’s petition was barred by the statute
of limitations.
