PER CURIAM:

1

Lewis C. Thornton, Jr., appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Thornton v. Townley, C/A No. 88-473-HC (E.D.N.C. Aug. 12, 1988). We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

2

AFFIRMED.
