Paul Darnell Kearney, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Gerald McBride,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mo-

tion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and
Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat.

1214. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason-

ing of the district court. United States v. Kearney, Nos. CR-91-

122-R; CA-96-66-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 1, 1996). 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.
