Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 808 F.2d 835 (4th Cir. 1986) Submitted Oct. 31, 1986. Decided Dec. 11, 1986

Before WIDENER and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Daniel H. Sparkman, appellant pro se.

Richard N. League, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its order denying habeas relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 would be without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we deny leave to appeal in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Sparkman v. Sheriff of Macon County, C/A No. 86-72-B-C (W.D.N.C., June 11 and June 24, 1986).

DISMISSED.
