Nuradeen Alamin, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Jack Higdon, Jr., OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

habeas motion, 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism
and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110

Stat. 1217. 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. Alamin, Nos. CR-

91-58-P; CA-95-300-P (W.D.N.C. Dec. 20, 1995). We also deny Appel-

lant's motion for the preparation of a transcript at the Govern-

ment's expense. See 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1988). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
