PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

petition brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), as 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.

Lindsey, Nos. CR-91-116-N; CA-95-1227-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 15, 1996).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
