    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255 (1994), as
    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 appealability and dismiss the
    appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
    Cook, Nos. CR-91-305; CA-96-472 (E.D. Va. July 15, 1996). 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
