OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James Andrew Jones seeks to appeal the district court's order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court's
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-95-78; CA-
97-777 (W.D. Va. Nov. 21, 1997). Our decision intimates nothing
about the retroactivity of the one-year limitations period imposed
by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1998), because Appellant filed this
action over one year after the effective date of the statute. 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
