PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), amended by Anti-
terrorism 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. Byrd, Nos. CR-83-52; CA-95-703-6
(M.D.N.C. Apr. 1, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
