PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his
motion for reconsideration of the court's earlier order denying
relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism 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
probable cause and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. United States v. Padgett, Nos. CR-91-166; CA-94-377-1
(S.D.W. Va. July 30, 1996). We deny Appellant's motions for abey-
ance and remand. 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 decisional process.
DISMISSED
