v.
R. M. MUNCY; Attorney General of Virginia, Respondents-Appellees.

No. 86-6835.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Feb. 18, 1987.
Decided March 26, 1987.

Before WIDENER, HALL, and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.

MacArthur Hicks, appellant pro se.

Richard Bain Smith, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, for appellees.

PER CURIAM:

A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its 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 district court. Hicks v. Muncy, C/A No. 86-23-B (W.D. Va., Dec. 3, 1986).

DISMISSED.
