Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gordon R. Schenkelberger, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Gordon R. Schenkelberger appeals the district court’s order
denying his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 2000), as untimely filed. We have reviewed the record, the
district court’s opinion, and Schenkelberger’s informal appellate
brief. Because Schenkelberger failed to challenge on appeal the
basis for the district court’s ruling, he has not preserved any
issue for our review. 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. Schenkelberger v. Angelone, No. CA-00-
1125-AM (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 11, 2000; entered Oct. 12, 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
