OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Benjamin Lee Marshall seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.Sec. 2254 (1988).* 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. Marshall v. State of Virginia, No. CA-92-769-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 22, 1993). 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
Since Marshall attacked the fact or duration of his confinement, the court properly construed his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint as a petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C.Sec. 2254 (1988). Todd v. Baskerville, 712 F.2d 70, 72 (4th Cir. 1983)
