    v.
    Santino Laron SYKES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 96-7232.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 26, 1996.
    Decided Dec. 17, 1996.

    Santino Laron Sykes, Appellant Pro Se. Janet S. Reincke, OFFICE OF


    THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
    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. 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. United States v. Sykes, Nos. CR-94-50; CA96-448 (E.D.Va. July 24, 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
