United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: May 26, 1988.
Decided: June 28, 1988.

James Ray Cole, appellant pro se.

Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr., Assistant Attorney General (Office of the Attorney General of Virginia), for appellees.

Before DONALD RUSSELL and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

James Ray Cole seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 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. Cole v. Augusta Correctional Center, C/A No. 87-574-AM (E.D.Va. Dec. 30, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

DISMISSED.
