motion pursuant to

(1988), amended by Antiter- rorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-

132,

. 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 on the reasoning of the

district court. United States v. Taylor, Nos. CR-91-58; CA-95-23-NN (E.D. Va. Mar. 29, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
