tant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders (1) de-

nying his motion filed 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, and (2) denying his motion for reconsid-

eration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error and no abuse of discretion.

Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion for bail, deny a certifi-

cate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. United States v. Faircloth, Nos. CR-95-87-BR;

CA-96-964-5 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 9, 1997). 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
