Claude Delmus Shafer, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

his motions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Anti-
terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-

132, 110 Stat. 1214, and for reconsideration. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's orders 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. Shafer, Nos. CR-92-112-R-H; CA-95-59-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 24,

1996). We further deny Appellant's motions to set aside his convic-

tion and grant a new trial, for appointment of counsel, and for a

financial affidavit. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                         DISMISSED
