OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North
Carolina, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), 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 accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that a cer-

tificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate.
We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Webb

v. Attorney Gen. of North Carolina, No. CA-95-361-4 (M.D.N.C. Mar.

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 decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
