PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion to reinstate a successive petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(1988), 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. Williams, Nos. CR-80-14-N; CA-96-60 (E.D. Va. May 17,
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
