(CA-02-751-7) Submitted: October 10, 2002 Decided: October 21, 2002 Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Sammy W. Compton, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Sammy W. Compton seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying as untimely his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We have reviewed the record and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. See Compton v. Jarvis, No. CA-02-751-7 (W.D. Va. July 22, 2002). We deny a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (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 2
