Submitted Jan. 23, 1997.
Decided Jan. 31, 1997.

Cornell Crawford, Appellant Pro Se.

Maury S. Epner, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

Before RUSSELL, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

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. Crawford, Nos. CR-94-286-S, CA-96-1181-S (D.Md. Apr. 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.

2

DISMISSED.

Appellant's motion to expedite is now moot and is dismissed for that reason
