Cheryl Johns Sturm, West Chester, Pennsylvania, for Appellant. Bruce Charles Johnson, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

motion for relief under

(1994), amended by Anti- terrorism 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. Jessup, Nos. CR-92-72-F; CA-96- 321-5-F (E.D.N.C. June 3, 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 deci- sional process.

DISMISSED
