Stanley Lamar Reed, Petitioner-appellant, v. Willie R. Portee; Attorney General of North Carolina,respondents-appellees, 829 F.2d 36 (4th Cir. 1987)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 829 F.2d 36 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted June 29, 1987. Decided August 25, 1987

Stanley Lamar Reed, appellant pro se.

Daniel R. McLeod, for appellees.

Before DONALD RUSSELL and JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Our review of the record and the district court's decision adopting the magistrate's report and recommendation reveals that this appeal from that court's order denying Stanley L. Reed's Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to reconsider his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition lacks merit. Because the dispositive issues have recently 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 adopting the magistrate's report and recommendation. Reed v. Portee, C/A No. 82-2787 (D.S.C., Feb. 23, 1987).

DISMISSED.
