Willie Frank GRAVETTE, Defendant--Appellant.

No. 96-7443.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: Jan. 23, 1997.
Decided: Feb. 5, 1997.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Graham C. Mullen, District Judge. (CR-91-5-MU, CR-91-6-ST, CR-91-15-MU-SH, CA-92-63-MU)

Willie Frank Gravette, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Lee Whisler, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Before RUSSELL, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal 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 district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and finding no merit in Appellant's additional claims, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Gravette, Nos. CR-91-5-MU; CR-91-6-ST; CR91-15-MU-SH; CA-92-63-MU (W.D.N.C. Aug. 8, 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.
