v.

No. 86-6805

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 28, 1987.
Decided June 29, 1987.

J. C. Messer, appellant pro se.

G. Michael Barnhill, Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice, for appellee.

Before RUSSELL, WIDENER and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

A review of the record and the district court's opinion adopting the magistrate's recommendation discloses that this appeal from its order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Messer v. Ellis, C/A No. 84-296-CRT (E.D.N.C., Oct. 22, 1986).

2

AFFIRMED.
