UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                              Plaintiff - Appellee,

trict of West Virginia, at Charleston. Charles H. Haden II, Chief
District Judge. (CR-95-65, CA-95-1140-2)


Submitted:     February 4, 1997            Decided:   March 11, 1997


Before WIDENER, MURNAGHAN, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Louis Nomar, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Lee Keller, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mo-

tion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (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 affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. United States v. Nomar, No. CR-95-

65; CA-95-1140-2 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 27, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
