PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), as
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 deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.

Cook, Nos. CR-91-305; CA-96-472 (E.D. Va. July 15, 1996). We dis-

pense 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
