See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Edwin Rodriguez appeals the district court’s order denying as
untimely his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. Rodriguez v. Braxton, No. CA-98-375-AM (E.D.
Va. Apr. 30, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
