Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

his motion filed under

(1994), 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 the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. United States v. Mayo, Nos. CR-93- 228-L; CA-96-414-L (D. Md. May 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 decisional process.

DISMISSED
