Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Anti-
terrorism 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

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Stotler, Nos. CR-92-67; CA-94-186 (N.D.W. Va. Nov. 1, 1995). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
