Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit August 17, 2000, 99-3047 (United States v. Angel Cepero A/K/A Angel Villar-Cepero A/K/A Mosquito Angel Cepero)

OPINION OF THE COURT

ALDISERT, Circuit Judge:

We must decide whether the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 precludes our review of Appellant’s unsuccessful § 2255 motion to correct his sentence, notwithstanding the District Court’s issuance of a certificate of appeala-bility under 28 U.S.C. § 2258. Appellant contends that the District Court erred by sentencing him under U.S.S.
