UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                             Plaintiff - Appellee,

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Antiter-
rorism 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

Appellant's Motion for Summary Reversal; we deny a certificate of

appealability; and we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. United States v. Davis, Nos. CR-93-256-A; CA-96-

642-AM (E.D. Va. June 26, 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
