Claude Delmus Shafer, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

his motion filed 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 the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. United States v. Shafer, Nos. CR-92- 112-R-H; CA-95-1033-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 9, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
