    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    ARTHUR MANSFIELD BECKNER,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, District Judge.
    (CR-92-141, CA-96-24-R)
    Submitted:

    March 27, 1997

    Decided:

    April 3, 1997

    Before RUSSELL, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Arthur Mansfield Beckner, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 28 U.S.C. 2255 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104132, 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. United States v. Beckner, Nos. CR-92141, CA-96-24-R (W.D. Va. Sept. 11, 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
