Phillip M. Propst, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying

relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994),
amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,
Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, and his motion for reconsider-

ation. 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 appeals on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. Propst v. North Carolina, No. CA-95-151-5-MU (W.D.N.C.
Aug. 22, 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
