Anthony A. Blagrove, Appellant Pro Se. William David Muhr, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Anthony A. Blagrove seeks to appeal the district court's order

denying his first 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, dismissing his next three

§ 2255 motions and denying his motion for appointment of counsel.

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 dis-
trict court. United States v. Blagrove, Nos. CR-95-52, CA-96-599

(E.D. Va. July 11, 1996). Blagrove's motion for appointment of

counsel is also denied. 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
