    Before MURNAGHAN, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Cooper Junior Pernell, Appellant Pro Se. James Michael Sullivan,
    Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
    as frivolous 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.
    Further, we find this appeal to be frivolous. Accordingly, we deny
    a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Pernell, Nos. CR-92179; CA-96-285 (W.D.N.C. July 18, 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
