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 on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Jessup, Nos. CR-92-72-F; CA-96- 321-5-F (E.D.N.C. June 3, 1996).
