Earl Alphonzo Johnson, Petitioner-appellant, v. David Williams, Respondent-appellee, 861 F.2d 264 (4th Cir. 1988)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 861 F.2d 264 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: July 27, 1988. Decided: Oct. 6, 1988

Earl Alphonzo Johnson, appellant pro se.

Richard Bain Smith (Office of the Attorney General of Virginia), for appellee.

Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, SPROUSE and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Earl Alphonzo Johnson 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 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. Johnson v. Williams, CA-87-1118-AM (E.D. Va. May 27, 1988). 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.
