PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

habeas motion, 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism
and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110

Stat. 1217. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

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

reasoning of the district court. United States v. Bland, Nos. CR-

93-39-NN; CA-94-80-4 (E.D. Va. Oct. 20, 1995). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
