Vernon Martin, Petitioner-appellant, v. William D. Leeke, Commissioner; Attorney General of Thestate of South Carolina, Respondent-appellee, 822 F.2d 55 (4th Cir. 1987)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 822 F.2d 55 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted April 24, 1987. Decided June 19, 1987

Before RUSSELL and HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Vernon Martin, appellant pro se.

William Alva Ready, III, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate's recommendation 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. Martin v. Leeke, C/A No. 86-2101 (D.S.C., Feb. 3, 1987).

DISMISSED.
