No. 86-6709.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Sept. 29, 1986.
Decided Oct. 30, 1986.

Thomas Blanding, appellant pro se.

Robert Quentin Harris, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

E.D.Va.

DISMISSED.

Before HALL, CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

A review of the record and the magistrate's opinion discloses that an appeal from his order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 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 magistrate. Blanding v. Muncy, CA-86-196-R (E.D.Va., July 28, 1986).

DISMISSED.
