OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from a district court order that concluded his
motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998)
was barred by the one-year limitations period of 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West Supp. 1998). Appellant's conviction became final in May 1995,
and he filed his habeas motion on August 2, 1996. Appellant had until
April 23, 1997 to file his § 2255 motion. See Brown v. Angelone, ___
F.3d ___, 1998 WL 389030 (4th Cir. July 14, 1998) (Nos. 96-7173,
96-7208). Therefore, his motion was not time barred. For these rea-
sons, we grant a certificate of appealability on this issue, vacate the
district court's order, and remand for further proceedings. We dis-
pense 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.
VACATED AND REMANDED
