Richard A. Vogeney, Appellant Pro Se.
Before MURNAGHAN and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying reconsideration of the court's prior order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214 petition, which the court properly construed as an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988).  We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal;  to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate.  We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   Vogeney v. Crews, No. CA-95-204-2-MU (W.D.N.C. Mar. 11, 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.

DISMISSED
