Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 848 F.2d 185 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: April 29, 1988. Decided: May 26, 1988

Morris Riddick, Jr., appellant pro se.

Katherine Baldwin Toone (Office of the Attorney General), for appellee.

Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Morris Riddick, Jr. seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Riddick v. Murray, C/A No. 86-865-N (E.D. Va. Apr. 20, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
