Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Phillip James Soffos seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his motion brought 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. Soffos, Nos. CR-91-320-S; CA-96-1243-S (D.Md. Apr. 26, 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.
