Billy Weldon Cline, Petitioner-appellant, v. J.l. Brown; Attorney General of the State of Northcarolina, Respondents-appellees, 843 F.2d 1386 (4th Cir. 1988)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 843 F.2d 1386 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: Dec. 30, 1987. Decided: April 8, 1988

Billy Weldon Cline, appellant pro se.

Barry Steven McNeill, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, CHAPMAN and WILKINSON, 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. We therefore deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Cline v. Brown, C/A No. 87-41-C-S (M.D.N.C. Aug. 28, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
