    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-6083

    MICHAEL ELANDOUS JOHNSON,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    CHARLES HILL,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, Chief District
    Judge. (CA-95-559-5-HC-F)
    Submitted:

    December 10, 1996

    Decided:

    January 13, 1997

    Before NIEMEYER, HAMILTON, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Michael Elandous Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge,
    III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh,
    North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1994).*

    We

    have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find
    no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of prob-

    able cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
    district court. Johnson v. Hill, No. CA-95-559-5-HC-F (E.D.N.C.
    Jan. 5, 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

    Effective April 26, 1996, 28 U.S.C. 2254 was amended by


    the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L.
    No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. Because Johnson filed this appeal
    prior to the Act's enactment, we need not consider what effect the
    Act would have on this appeal.
