Haywood Williams, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

2 PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

motion to reinstate a successive petition under

(1988), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,

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. Williams, Nos. CR-80-14-N; CA-96-60 (E.D. Va. May 17,

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
