PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended
by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L.
No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the
district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-
trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. United States v. Washington, Nos. CR-94-
464; CA-96-1061-7-20-AK (D.S.C. Aug. 7, 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
