PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on her petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994), as
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. Spencer v. Virginia
Parole Board, No. CA-96-1302 (E.D. Va. Sept. 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.
DISMISSED
