ANTHONY QUE MCCULLOUGH,
Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
DAVID A. GARRAGHTY, Warden,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis-
trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District
Judge. (CA-01-503-7)
Submitted: January 31, 2002 Decided: February 7, 2002
Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Anthony Que McCullough, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Anthony Que McCullough seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record, the district
court’s opinion, and McCullough’s informal brief filed in this
court. Because McCullough fails to challenge on appeal the dis-
trict court’s finding that his § 2254 petition was untimely, he has
not preserved that issue for our review. 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. McCullough v.
Garraghty, No. CA-01-503-7 (W.D. Va. July 10, 2001). 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
