JAMES OPLETON BRADLEY, JR.,
Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
R. DAVID MITCHELL,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Chief
District Judge. (CA-01-599-3-2-MU)
Submitted: March 12, 2002 Decided: April 29, 2002
Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James Opleton Bradley, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James Opleton Bradley, Jr., seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the
record and the district 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 that
Bradley’s petition was untimely filed. See Bradley v. Mitchell,
No. CA-01-599-3-2-MU (W.D.N.C. filed Nov. 9, 2001; entered Nov. 14,
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
