Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 904 F.2d 700 (4th Cir. 1990) Submitted: May 7, 1990. Decided: May 23, 1990. Rehearing Denied June 13, 1990

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. James R. Spencer, District Judge. (C/A No. 89-773-R).

Ronald Donell McCray, appellant pro se.

E.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Ronald Donell McCray seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.*  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. McCray v. Distanisgello, C/A No. 89-773-R (E.D. Va. Jan. 29, 1990). 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
