rorism 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 appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the
district court. United States v. Taylor, Nos. CR-91-58; CA-95-23-NN

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
