We consider the maximal operator defined on the real line by
M(alpha)f(x) = sup(R >0) 1/(2R)(1+alpha) f(R < \x-y\< 2R) \f(y)\(\x-y\ - R)
(alpha) dy, -1 < alpha <0,
which is related to the Cesaro convergence of the singular integrals. We ch
aracterize the weights w for which M-alpha is of weak type, strong type and
restricted weak type (p, p) with respect to the measure w(x) dx.
