    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 magistrate judge 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. Washington, Nos. CR-94464; CA-96-1061-7-20-AK (D.S.C. Aug. 7, 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
