terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-
132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the district

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. United States v. Sykes, Nos. CR-94-
50; CA-96-448 (E.D. Va. July 24, 1996). We dispense with oral

aid the decisional process.
