PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifi-
cate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the district
court. United States v. Bumpus, Nos. CR-91-148; CA-94-500 (S.D.W.
Va. Apr. 17, 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
