In Re Joseph Marion Head, Jr., Petitioner-appellant, 810 F.2d 194 (4th Cir. 1987)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 810 F.2d 194 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted Nov. 28, 1986. Decided Jan. 15, 1987

Before RUSSELL, WIDENER and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.

Joseph Marion Head, Jr., appellant pro se.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from its order denying relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is without merit. To the extent that the petition raises claims under § 2254 we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. We affirm the denial of relief under § 1983 on the reasoning of the district court and dispense with oral argument as it would not significantly aid the decisional process. In re: Joseph Marion Head, Jr., C/A No. 86-0228 (W.D.N.C., Aug. 22, 1986).

DISMISSED IN PART, AFFIRMED IN PART.
