Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his petition 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, and denying his motion for reconsidera-
tion. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
probable cause to appeal; to the extent a certificate of appeal-
ability is required, we deny such a certificate. We dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Tinsley v. Angelone,
No. CA-94-256-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 4, 1995 & Aug. 28, 1995). We dis-
pense 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
