Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 846 F.2d 74 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted March 24, 1988. Decided April 25, 1988

Willie Sykes, appellant pro se.

Robert Homer Anderson, III, Office of Attorney General, for appellees.

Before SPROUSE and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from its order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is 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. Sykes v. Murray, C/A No. 87-0467 (E.D. Va. Oct. 2, 1987).

DISMISSED.
