John William Simms, Petitioner-appellant, v. State of Maryland, Warden, Maryland Penitentiary,respondents-appellees, 838 F.2d 1210 (4th Cir. 1988)
Annotate this CaseJohn William Simms, appellant pro se.
J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Jillyn Kaberle Schulze, for appellees.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate's recommendation 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. Simms v. Maryland, C/A No. 85-3591-B (D. Md. Feb. 9, 1987).
DISMISSED.
