PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 probable cause to appeal; to the extent
that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a
certificate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. Jones v. Angelone, No. CA-95-793-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 2, 1996).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
