PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders 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, and motion for return of property. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinions accepting the recommenda-

tions of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United

States v. Marquez-Ramos, Nos. CR-90-303-S; CA-94-209-4 (M.D.N.C.

Oct. 24, 1995; Apr. 4, 1996). We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
