Robert W. Russell, Appellant v. David A. Garraghty; Attorney General of the State Ofvirginia, Appellees, 799 F.2d 751 (4th Cir. 1986)

Robert W. Russell, Appellant Pro Se. Richard B. Smith, Assistant Attorney General, for Appellees.

PER CURIAM:

A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 would be 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. Russell v. Garraghty, C/A No. 85-0017-D (W.D. Va., Feb. 4, 1986).

DISMISSED.
