Ellie Robinson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ellie Robinson appeals 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 Robinson v. Virginia Parole Bd., No.
CA-02-785 (W.D. Va. filed Aug. 13, 2002 & entered Aug. 14, 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
