Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 804 F.2d 1250 (4th Cir. 1986) Submitted July 22, 1986. Decided Nov. 13, 1986

Burdell Mason, appellant pro se.

Todd E. LePage, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.

E.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert R. Merhige, District Judge. (C/A No. 85-0217-R)

Before PHILLIPS, CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 would be without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Mason v. Sielaff, C/A No. 85-0217-R (E.D. Va., June 11, 1986 and Jan. 24, 1986).

DISMISSED.
