See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), as amended by
Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No.
104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-
trate judge and find no reversible error. We also find meritless
Appellant's allegation that his conviction under 18 U.S.C.A.
§ 924(c) (West Supp. 1996) should be reversed in light of Bailey v.
United States, ___ U.S. ___, 64 U.S.L.W. 4039 (U.S. Dec. 6, 1995)
(Nos. 94-7448, 94-7492), because the record reveals evidence beyond
a reasonable doubt to support the conviction under Bailey's "carry-
ing" prong. Id. at 4041-43. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Stroman, Nos. CR-94-313;
CA-95-378-3-6BC (D.S.C. Dec. 8, 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.
AFFIRMED
