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, Fisher's motions for bail pending appeal, for retrial, and to call witnesses, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Fisher v. Common- wealth, No. CA-96-150 (E.D. Va. May 10, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
