PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
his motion filed 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 the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. United States v. Ward, Nos. CR-93-37;
CA-95-761-2 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 23, 1996). We note that in the interim,
the Supreme Court decided United States v. Ursery, ___ U.S. ___, 64
U.S.L.W. 4565 (U.S. June 24, 1996) (Nos. 95-345, 95-346), which
conclusively decides Ward's double jeopardy claim. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
