PER CURIAM:
Angel Quintana seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-
nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001).
We have reviewed the record, the district court’s opinion, and
Quintana’s informal brief filed in this court. Because Quintana
does not challenge on appeal the district court’s finding that his
§ 2255 motion was time-barred, he has not preserved that issue for
our review. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability
and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
United States v. Quintana, Nos. CR-98-94; CA-01-172-F (E.D.N.C.
filed Sept. 19, 2001 & entered Sept. 20, 2001). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
