Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Clarence Covington seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing as untimely his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2000), and denying his post-judgment motions.
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Covington’s motion
for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Covington v. Angelone, No. CA-00-
1444-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 7 & Nov. 29, 2000). We also deny Coving-
ton’s motion to proceed as movant. 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
