James Pouncy, Jr., Petitioner-appellant, v. Edward W. Murray, Director, Respondent-appellee, 47 F.3d 1165 (4th Cir. 1995)

James Pouncy, Jr., a Virginia prisoner, appeals from the district court's order dismissing, as successive, his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition and assessing "costs" in the amount of $150. This was Pouncy's third attempt in federal court to challenge the computation of his good conduct allowance.^*  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion reveals that this appeal is without merit both as to the dismissal of Pouncy's petition as well as to the imposition of costs. See Sanders v. United States, 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Flint v. Haynes, 651 F.2d 970 (4th Cir. 1981). Therefore, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Pouncy v. Murray, No. CA-93-959-N (E.D. Va. Nov. 1, 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.
