See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Freddy S. Campbell seeks to appeal the district court's order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

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. Campbell v. Ervin, No. CA-94-411 (S.D.W. Va., Mar.

6, 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
