PER CURIAM:

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. Davis, Nos. CR-93-44-BR; CA-96-30-7-BR; CA-96-145-7-BR (E.D.N.C. July 1, 1996).

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
