trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior Dis-
trict Judge. (CR-94-372-A, CA-98-408-A)

Anthony Whitaker, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer Joan Shasky, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Anthony Whitaker seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion seeking a reduction of his sentence, which the
district court properly construed as a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998) motion. We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According-
ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal
because the § 2255 motion was barred by the one-year limitations
period. See Brown v. Angelone, 150 F.3d 370, 375-76 (4th Cir.
1998). 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
