    v.
    J.J. HAYES, Superintendent, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 96-6919.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Sept. 5, 1996.
    Decided Sept. 17, 1996.

    Leonard Earl Winston, Appellant Pro Se.


    Before WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing as frivolous his
    petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988), 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 and find no reversible
    error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
    appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Winston v. Hayes, No. CA-96317-5-H (E.D.N.C. June 6, 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.
