PER CURIAM:
James Olive Rowland seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying as untimely his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United
States v. Rowland, Nos. CR-90-284; CA-01-560-1 (M.D.N.C. Dec. 3,
2001). 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
