Marvin David MOORE, Petitioner--Appellant,
v.
George P. DODSON, Warden, Respondent--Appellee.

No. 95-7970.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Argued Nov. 19, 1996.
Decided Dec. 2, 1996.

Bruce McCoy Steen, MCGUIRE, WOODS, BATTLE & BOOTHE, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellant. Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Before MURNAGHAN, HAMILTON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Moore v. Dodson, No. CA-95-770-R (W.D.Va. Nov. 1, 1995). 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
