PER CURIAM:
Sammy W. Compton seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying as untimely his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(2000). We have reviewed the record and dismiss the appeal for the
reasons stated by the district court. See Compton v. Jarvis, No.
CA-02-751-7 (W.D. Va. July 22, 2002). We deny a certificate of
appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). 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
