PER CURIAM:
Thomas Andrew Scott seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially
on the reasoning of the district court. See Scott v. Angelone, No.
CA-99-416-AM (E.D. Va. May 28, 1999). We conclude the one year
limitations period of 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244(d) (West Supp. 2000)
lapsed before Scott’s May 12, 1998 filing for state post-conviction
relief; therefore, no portion of the limitations period was tolled.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
