PER CURIAM:

     Aaron Brockington appeals from the district court's order

denying his motion 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 dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.

Brockington, Nos. CR-90-100; CA-96-5-3 (E.D. Va. April 10, 1996,

May 9, 1996). We deny Brockington's motion for appointment of

counsel and 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
