Notice: Fourth Circuit Local Rule 36(c) States That Citation of Unpublished Dispositions is Disfavored Except for Establishing Res Judicata, Estoppel, or the Law of the Case and Requires Service of Copies of Cited Unpublished Dispositions of the Fourth Circuit.united States of America, Plaintiff--appellee, v. Tommy Stanley Herbert, Defendant--appellant, 106 F.3d 393 (4th Cir. 1997)

Tommy Stanley Herbert seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his 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. 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 district court. United States v. Herbert, Nos. CR-93-77-A; CA-95-746-AM (E.D. Va. May 21, 1996). To the extent that Appellant has appealed the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the district court to expedite consideration of his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, we dismiss the appeal as moot as the record reflects that the district court has issued a final order from which Appellant has noted a timely appeal. 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
