PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), 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. Jessup, Nos. CR-92-72-F; CA-96-
321-5-F (E.D.N.C. June 3, 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 deci-
sional process.
DISMISSED
