See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Antiter-
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 grant
a certificate of appealability and affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. United States v. Truesdale, Nos. CR-92-34; CA-96-
109 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 1996). However, because the district court
did not afford Appellant notice and an opportunity to be heard with
respect to the imposition of the system of prefiling review, see In
re Oliver, 682 F.2d 443, 446 (3d Cir. 1982), we modify the district
court's order to strike the portion of the order conditioning
Appellant's future filings in the District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina upon his obtaining leave of court. We
deny as meritless Appellant's motion for determination of status
and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
