PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Anderson seeks to appeal the district court's order

denying 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. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict 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. Anderson, Nos.

CR-90-74; CA-96-194-3-P (W.D.N.C. June 20, 1996). 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
