James A. Edmonds, Petitioner-appellant, v. Warden, Maryland Penitentiary, Respondent-appellee, 835 F.2d 874 (4th Cir. 1987)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 835 F.2d 874 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted Oct. 19, 1987. Decided Dec. 10, 1987

James A. Edmonds, pro se.

Valerie Johnston Smith, Office of the Attorney General of Maryland, for appellee.

Before WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate 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. Edmonds v. Warden, C/A No. 86-2316-R (D. Md. May 21, 1987).

DISMISSED.
